As a coda to this Book of Henry thing, here’s an excerpt from an interview he gave about the film:

I think what this movie is, it’s the movies I would be making if no one had asked me to go and do these giant versions of things that we loved growing up. Which I also love doing. But it was important to me to make something that at least shares with people my identity as a filmmaker, what I believe in and where I stand. And the kind of movies that I would continue to make if they were to fire me tomorrow and say I can never do a big budget movie again. I would make movies like this.

It sounds like you would be happy doing that, too.

Absolutely. I’m not suggesting they fire me. In case they’re listening.

I hope they’re listening.
