has already gone down in history, with the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film directed by a woman. After rave reviews and record box office figures, it's hard to imagine the film being done any other way. But, according to Greta Gerwig, there was one scene that she and the studio executives couldn't agree on. For them, it was superfluous. For Gerwig, it captured the whole message of the film.
'To me, this is the heart of the movie,' she added. 'The way Margot plays that moment is so gentle and so unforced. There’s the more outrageous elements in the movie that people say, "Oh, my God, I can’t believe Mattel let you do this," or, "I can’t believe Warner Bros. let you do this."
