There wasn't a scandal re the director and star - why would there be? Sam-Taylor Wood's a highly respected artist; this is her first feature film.
But that bit kept coming up in every British report/review I read on the movie, like every GHOST WRITER review had to tackle the Polanski shit.
But in one case it's pertinent, in another it isn't. In the case of the Polanski film, at the time of its release it looked like it might have been the director's last
because of his situation; also, Polanski's circumstance affected the reading of the film with regard to its themes of responsibility for past crimes, exile, right-wing media vilification, etc.
A Google search for
Sam-Taylor Wood brings up only one site on the first page that takes her marriage and pregnancy to Aaron Johnson as its focus. First, it's
The Daily Mail; second, it isn't a review of the film.
That doesn't amount to a scandal.
