O’Hara excelled at portraying people who were either falling apart or convinced of their own greatness. Despite their flaws, her characters were consistently endearing and popular because she always brought a surprising tenderness to her performances, revealing the vulnerabilities beneath their strong exteriors, and fully committing to each role without ego.

Richard Linklater is, in my opinion, the most compelling and one of the best filmmakers working today. His film Boyhood (2014) stands out as a potential film of the century, and he’s also known for delightful movies like Before Sunrise (1995) and its sequels, the fun comedy School of Rock (2003), and the charming Hit Man (2023).
