I think the bigger the movie is, the harder it is to maintain the idea of an auteur. You're servicing something beyond just your own vision.

I like reading reviews. If they're clearly hating on you, I try not to read that deeply. But if they really are trying to understand, it's interesting. Jon Favreau deeplyhateinterest Change image and share on social
