What critics compared My Brilliant Career to
Veteran DoP Don McAlpine (Moulin Rouge, My Brilliant Career) knows how to shoot a period film so that it looks both nostalgic and modern.
Along the way, she subtly evokes the final scene of Gillian Armstrong’s My Brilliant Career (1978), in which the young writer-heroine — an Australian Jo — sadly turns her Prince Charming down.
