Gerwig's storytelling is legendary, as is her ability to make women feel seen, but it was her directorial work on Barbie that made her a household name. Discover how Gerwig embraced her interest in theatre before turning her attention to Hollywood, explore her mumblecore films, understand why she focuses on key themes such as coming of age and female relationships, and take an in-depth look at her creative process for each major film.
