1. Greta Gerwig
Greta Gerwig the director of the incredible Barbie movie, is featured on the cover of the magazine’s Women of the Year issue,Time's West Coast editor, Sam Lansky, commented on Barbie director Gerwig, featured on the magazine's Women of the Year issue. Lansky highlighted Gerwig's unique blend of commerce and artistry, noting her films' emotional depth and commercial success. He praised her record-breaking achievements, including being the first director to have her initial three solo feature films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Lansky emphasized Gerwig's ability to connect with audiences, particularly women and girls, through her insightful exploration of emotional landscapes and aspirations. However, he cautioned against reducing her success solely to gender, as her work transcends such categorization.
“Yet her movies also clean up at the box office,” he continued, adding, “her semi autobiographical solo directorial debut, Lady Bird, grossed $79 million against a $10 million budget; her next, an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved Little Women, was budgeted at $40 million and took in $231 million—both extraordinary returns on investment. These commercial triumphs reflect how her work resonates in the culture, particularly among women and girls, whose emotional lives and ambitions Gerwig explores in her films. But to make her success about gender would be to diminish how her work also transcends its boundaries.”
