People like Bruce Dern revere him in that manner, as I mentioned in my interview here with Payne, but he’s rarely spoken of as an all-timer. That being said, there are few […] More

Ranking the Films of Todd Haynes
Todd Haynes almost never directs movies that are “only” about their central narratives.
