Seeking to understand the obstacles that even notable names face trying to finance a British film these days, Winterbottom uses the first Covid lockdown to interview an enviable list of directors, including Steve McQueen, Lynne Ramsay and Mike Leigh... There's fascinating candour... Eye-opening and addictively readable. * Total Film * The interviews' focus on the busi ness side of film production is relatively unusual and all the more valuable for it. Possibly liberated by the uncertainty of the moment, Winterbottom's subjects are more frank about the industry than is customary. Their perspectives often converge, but the directors' reasons for not directing vary as widely as their cir cumstances. -- Henry K. Miller * Sight & Sound *
