One key quote from Variety: “I like certain aspects of certain things or certain performances, rather than loving anything overall,” she says carefully, before praising “Maestro,” particularly Carey Mulligan’s performance, and Mark Ruffalo’s work in “Poor Things.”
Variety also said she’s “mixed” about Oppenheimer.
“I kind of enjoyed it, but I also felt like it was just white guys doing bad stuff. I guess we’re gonna continue to mine that,” she says. “As I was watching it, I kept wondering, ‘Am I stimulated by this or am I bored by this?’ I felt somewhere in the middle.” She pauses for a second before adding that she liked Josh Hartnett, the early-aughts heartthrob who plays one of the scientists in the film. “He’s so handsome and natural on the screen. He felt very real in that part, whereas some of the other performances were pushing a bit.”

Variety states that Sevigny has made four short films, and wants to make a feature directing debut. “Sevigny is weighing three directing projects, two adapted from books, the other a ‘true crime-ish thing.’ The next day she’s gathering a group of actors that includes Dasha Nekrasova and Lily McInerny for a reading of one of the scripts,” according to the piece.
Instead of all white guys, Chloe is inclusive and will work with a contrarian racist like Dasha Nekrasova, I guess.
