As others have mentioned, this movie looked like

dogshit.

This is what happens when you give an inexperienced, low-budget DoP a 100 million project because of little more than gender.

We have TONS of examples of "inexperienced, low-budget" male DPs shooting blockbusters. Sometimes they look great, sometimes they look terrible. Women deserve those opportunities too. That's how they become experienced.

Go ahead. Name one.

99% of the time, they work their way up. There are hundreds of better female DoP’s out there.

Also, most DoP’s don’t usually go from $10 million to >$100 million pictures in the space of one project unless there’s some massive nepotism afoot. She already is in the ASC. Do you know how hard it is to get into the ASC?
