honoring snubbed female directors. Now she is drawing criticism from some who claim she is part of “the problem.”
Portman’s black-and-gold ensemble featured a cape embroidered with the names of several filmmakers, including Greta Gerwig , Lulu Wang , Lorene Scafaria , Marielle Heller , Mati Diop , Melina Matsoukas , Alma Har’el and Céline Sciamma .Advertisement In a lengthy statement released Wednesday afternoon, Portman acknowledged McGowan’s concerns and partly agreed with them.
“The past few years have seen a blossoming of directing opportunities for women due to the collective efforts of many people who have been calling out the system,” she added. “The gift has been these incredible films. I hope that what was intended as a simple nod to them does not distract from their great achievements.
