Will the Top 5 for each one do?

Overrated: Tarantino, Anderson, Burton, Lucas, and Malick (this one particularly kills me because throughout my career I’ve gotten “your work reminds me of Malick” so many times from so many different people in the industry and it’s just…no)

Underrated:

Gaspar Noe: My favorite director of all time. Everything he touches is something no one else but him could ever make. If there is a person whose career I would want, it’s his. He makes some of *the* most fucked up movies ever so if you have trigger warnings of any kind, I’d recommend staying away because I have a feeling at least one of them will be touched upon at some point. It’s hard to pick which one of his movies I like best, but I’d have to say his 2002 film “Irreversible” takes it by hair above “Enter The Void”. It usually makes it onto every list of most fucked up movies but honestly it’s sheer brilliance. It’s just…incredible. It was in Sundance, Cannes, Telluride, etc etc etc. It’s one of those films that critics for the most part rated simply with one word, because really it’s all you can say about it. If you want raw, human, gritty, gut wrenching dramas you watch Gaspar’s movies. They’re not “fucked up” for gratuity’s sake. The things he depicts are things that happen in real life and that’s what makes people uncomfortable. He brings the audience confront the shitty things human beings are capable of doing. He takes you to the point where you almost want to look away but you can’t because not only does he tell incredibly well written stories but he finds a way to portray them in a creatively unique way. His films are utterly fucking powerful and so very devastating and not one of them is even remotely similar as any of the previous ones. 

Sean Durkin: Won “Best Director” at Sundance 2011 for his masterpiece “Martha Marcy May Marlene”.

Debra Granik: I’ll go with the obvious, picking multi Oscar nominated and winner of 2010 Sundance’s Jury Prize for “Best Picture” and “Best Screenplay”. Yes, of course “Winter’s Bone” is on my list. It was the film JLaw should’ve gotten the Oscar for instead of Silver Lining’s but that’s a rant for another day. One of the most thought provoking, brutal, and expertly crafted films of the decade, possibly ever…and written/directed by a fucking woman. She’s the living embodiment of the fact that a man can direct a shitty mediocre movie and then get hired to direct seventeen tentpoles back to back, but a woman takes makes one of the best films in cinema history and fades into obscurity never to work again. 

Mike Cahill: I’ve talked about at length about Mike and his work with Brit Marling before. It’s absolutely sublime and the stuff you need to experience if you love sci-fi and quality movies. He’s always making waves at Sundance and other huge festivals with his work. 

Andrea Arnold: Andrea directed what was easily the best movie of 2016 and one that has gotten robbed this award season. At least it got the Jury Prize at Cannes. “American Honey” is a film you can’t take your eyes off. It’s mesmerizing and rich. Andrea not only made a beautiful film but she managed to get stellar performances out of her entire cast, but specially Shia and Sasha. Shia has had a very long career, but he has never been this good. 

Quando decidi me envolver eu já estava apaixonada pelo seu jeito e consciente que você ia voltar para a sua cidade em questão de tempo, 3mil km essa é a distância que estamos. E quase ninguém entende porque a sua partida me feriu tanto sendo que foi tão pouco tempo.

Claramente não é o tempo que torna as coisas importantes, sou convicta disso, acredito comigo que fui somente alguém que você se envolveu mas, pra mim foi diferente me marcou de um jeito que talvez nem mesmo você entenda.

Sinto sua falta todos os dias mesmo nos falando, sinto falta daquilo que nunca vamos ter, sinto falta de como me senti contigo, sinto falta de te olhar e confirmar que é exatamente você aquela pessoa que tanto esperei.

Aquela pessoa que já me falaram que não existe que é uma lista de coisas q alguém precisa ser e se encaixar e que isso me levaria a ficar sozinha, eu aceitei que ficaria é por mim tudo bem, acreditei q exigi demais de um homem com essa "lista impossível" de inúmeras qualidades que eu tenho, que adquiri com o tempo e algumas que ainda quero adquirir. Como posso ter uma lista e não ser ela?

Mas ai vc chegou e me mostrou alguém atento aos detalhes, que me enxergou de verdade, sincero, sempre falando a verdade, sem jogos, que me falava e lembrava constantemente o quão incrível eu sou, que é simples, que se preocupa mesmo sem um motivo de doença, que não esbraveja mesmo quando tá bravo, para respira e se acalma, que não espera a todo o momento a maldade nas pessoas, faz piada e acha graça de coisas simples, observa a beleza das coisas que esta fora do nosso controle, tem leveza no olhar, sempre quer conversar pra resolver as coisas invés de brigar.

Minha vida é tão feita de brigas e gritos e isso é tão cansativo. Que quando alguém te mostra na prática como é tudo aquilo que você deseja pra vida te dá uma tranquilidade. Te faz repensar todos os comportamentos, te faz querer adquirir algumas qualidades, eu tô sempre levando tudo a ferro e fogo e pra quê?
