My Take
Simon Curtis is an English director whose work spans theatre, television and film, and I tend to trust filmmakers with that kind of range. Born in London in 1960, he came up through stage and TV before moving into features, and that grounding usually shows in how carefully actors are handled. I always lean toward directors who treat performance as the centre of the frame rather than spectacle. The breadth here is what stands out to me, the willingness to move between mediums rather than settle into one lane, which tends to produce more thoughtful, character-driven storytelling than the resume alone suggests.
