Lena Dunham director

“My Brilliant Career, I mean, this film by Gillian Armstrong, it is touching, it is powerful, it is feminist. Judy Davis’s hair, she’s going to the Met Gala, guys. It’s going in the bag.”

Lena Dunham

Carol Kane actor

“A great director who's currently still making great films, early on in her career directed Judy Davis when she was extremely young and had more hair than anyone in the world and was brilliant. And this is My Brilliant Career by Gillian Armstrong.”

Carol Kane
