My Take

Newton Thomas Sigel is the kind of artist I think audiences should know better, even if his name sits in the credits rather than on the poster. A Detroit-born cinematographer celebrated for his collaborations with Bryan Singer, he is the eye behind films whose moody, sculpted light does half the storytelling. The thought that the look of works like The Usual Suspects and the X-Men films ran through his lens is genuinely thrilling to me. He also writes and directs, and carries the ASC distinction that marks the real masters of the craft. I admire how completely his intention seems to live in every frame.
