My Take
Tanya Wexler earns my respect for steering straight into stories about women's lives and inner complexity. A Yale graduate who broke through with 1998's Finding North and became known for 2011's Hysteria, she takes provocative subject matter and wraps it in wit and warmth rather than lecturing. What I value is her commitment to writing women as full human beings instead of types, a stance still too rare in the industry. Turning difficult, often silenced topics into genuine entertainment is, to me, the mark of a real author. She is a director I find myself quietly cheering on.
