    I will never understand the hate for Scott's recent films (Kingdom of Heaven, Matchstick, Black Hawk Down, etc). Hate his 90's stuff all you want, but he's been very good 2000 and beyond.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8
