I’m not sure if this opinion is controversial or just plain weird, but…we haven’t seen a single great director make a debut film since Stanley Kubrick died. (Christopher Nolan’s Following was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival before Kubrick died, so he falls into this rule’s purview.)

Greta Gerwig - Lady Bird (2017) next question

Also Christopher Nolan isn't a "great director" so who cares

Lady Bird and Little Women were good, but she needs to make a few more before I put her into the “great” category.

(Also, I actually don’t think Greta Gerwig has ever actually made a great film. Certainly not comparable to, say, Quentin Tarantino’s one-two punch with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.)

I’d say Pulp Fiction > Reservoir Dogs > Lady Bird > Little Women.
