My Take

What I admire about Richard LaGravenese is how quietly he builds emotional architecture. The Fisher King, The Bridges of Madison County, Behind the Candelabra: these are scripts that trust the audience to feel rather than be told. Coming out of Brooklyn and Tisch, he never chased spectacle; he chased the ache underneath ordinary lives. I find his transition into directing telling, too: a writer who wants full control of tone. He is the kind of craftsman whose name in the credits is a small promise that the dialogue will earn its tears. I would watch anything he writes.
