A once-in-a-lifetime career.
Hi everyone, long time no clack! How’s the existential dread of this timeline been treating ya? At minimum, I hope everyone’s been able to eke out some simple joys…like that horror film trifecta cavalcade we got in March! Stay tuned for that review…in the meantime, let’s talk about…
Everything.
“…because when I read the script, I thought, THIS is something. Oh dear. *wipes away tears* No, this is something I’ve been waiting for for a long time.

Finally, somebody understood that I can do all of these things.” — Excerpt, Michelle Yeoh Breaks Down Her Most Iconic Characters, GQ, April 6 2022

Time and work.
Michelle has been in the filmmaking business for decades, paid her dues by giving every single performance 110%, and always ALWAYS been regarded as an exemplary role model of professionalism.
