Speaking to theLos Angeles Timesin January, director Domont detailed her thoughts on crafting the film’s central clash of egos and the gender crisis that unfolds.
“#MeToo never hit the finance world,” Dumont said. “Those guys were never held accountable for anything because money and power, at that level, you can’t touch those people. And women are forced to play ugly to survive in that kind of world and with those kinds of men. What they have to sacrifice of themselves to make their way up in that world, that was important for the story that I wanted to tell.”
Dumont added, “No matter how much progress we’ve made, we still can’t figure each other out. I don’t think men and women can. There’s a lot getting in the way of that.”
Fair Playis in select theaters Sept. 29, then on Netflix Oct. 13.
