Sort of. I think it's the big theatrical feel. Her films don't, necessarily, feel like what we expect in modern film at all Luhrmann's stuff is like this too, but I find hers don't don't even let you lie to yourself about realism the ways his do -- and I think people would find a lot of her stylistic choices enraging no matter what, but since "women aren't supposed to direct" that it provokes intense, uninformed scrutiny of her work. I haven't seen her Tempest yet, but from the clips I've seen and the reviews I've read, I keep having a "are we really having this conversation AGAIN?" response.
