    • Trivia
      Has directed 2 Oscar nominated performances: Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. Redmayne won for his role in The Theory of Everything (2014).
    • Quotes
      There's another way to look at faith in movies. Instead of mocking religious people or portraying them as hypocrites, you're seeing a more straight-up examination of how hard it is to be righteous. And I don't think we're losing anything in terms of dramatic story-lines.
