This highly anticipated movie centers on a female lead character in late 1970s Los Angeles, and sources have hinted that it could possibly be focusing on the influential movie critic, Pauline Kael. Kael was known for her pugnacious fights with editors and filmmakers, and she briefly worked as a consultant for Paramount in the late 70s. The filmmaker has a profound respect for the legendary film critic, so it’s no surprise that Kael is a likely subject.
