In a recent interview with Vulture, Lawrence candidly stated that male directors often prove to be inefficient control freaks. She observed, "I find that female directors have a common trait, which is that they don't over-direct. Several times when I've worked with male directors, they desperately needed to feel like they were in control of the entire film, but they didn't actually get things done; it was just very annoying. Whenever I think of the term 'auteur director,' what comes to mind is almost always a control freak... and what's that other word? Neurotic!"
Lawrence went on to praise female directors, noting their tendency to avoid over-controlling the set. She observed that once all crew members are aligned, they allow for creative freedom. Director Lynne Ramsay, for instance, believes that giving actors sufficient space to explore can sometimes lead to unexpected sparks.
