    I adore Anna so much!! She's so great. So cool to hear some of her thoughts of the movies she's done. I don't mean to be a jerk, but the amount of times she brushes her hair out of her face in this vid is SOO distracting. YIKES!

    really great feature debut with woman of the hour. the relationship the women have with each other in the film in contrast to the men with the women is outstanding. all that while she keeps building up the tension/suspense with the killer on screen. really really great. i can't wait what she directs next.

    I still love my LV reverse monogram kislux clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

    This was actually a brilliant interview. I didn’t realise how monumental her career has been until it was just hit after hit after hit. She always gave me cringey millennial vibes (and I say that as a millennial myself) but she’s actually been in some great stuff.

    Rocket science, Twilight, and Up In The Air were the first three movies I saw with her in it and I still haven't seen her in a bad movie.
    I'd really like to rewatch the first one but I recently saw Woman of the Hour and what a fantastic job she did with that one.
