Jane Campion Is Taking Cinema to the Darkest Human Places
By Jordan Kisner

She has the drape of fine, silver hair you might associate with a mystic, but everything else about her — the square, chunky black glasses and understated, monochromatic outfits — indicates, aesthetically speaking, what she is: the most decorated female filmmaker alive, an auteur in the lineage of Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut and Pedro Almodóvar.

I quite enjoyed it. I saw it in the cinema one afternoon when kids were in school and I did think it made the difference. I had been planning to catch it on Netflix but decided to treat myself to the cinema instead and I remember thinking at the time ‘I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much on telly at home.’ I thought some bits were very rushed and others extremely drawn out though. And I don’t think it’s the type of thing I’d love to watch over and over.
