My Take

What strikes me about Tate Taylor is how rooted he stayed in Mississippi while telling stories that traveled far beyond it. The Help is the title most people know him for, but I think his range is the more interesting story: he moved from that Civil Rights-era drama to the propulsive James Brown biopic Get On Up, then into the slick thriller territory of The Girl on the Train, and finally the unsettling Ma. That refusal to settle into one genre tells me he's a director chasing material rather than a brand. Starting his path at the University of Mississippi, then directing a Best Picture nominee, is a quietly remarkable arc.
