“Alan J. Pakula had three incredible films in a row: Klute, this, and one of my top ten of all time, All the President's Men. Just incredible compositions, incredible lighting. I have no notes.”

Director

“It's the Pakula film that to me feels the least studied. You feel a control of the camera in a lot of his films, and this one feels like he's really trying to bring the filmmaking of someone like Fred Wiseman or D.A. Pennebaker—a lot of the documentary filming. You want us to feel the anxiety in each frame.”
