With 'The Exorcist,' David Gordon Green Was Losing His Creative Freedom - 'Nutcrackers' Gave It Back
Briefly

"Nutcrackers" reflects a significant departure from David Gordon Green's previous horror films, showcasing a heartwarming narrative that involves family and unexpected guardianship.
Green's transition from horror to a whimsical family film demonstrates his desire to explore different genres and themes, distancing himself from being typecast in filmmaking.
In "Nutcrackers," Ben Stiller's character is forced to confront his family's past and step into the role of guardian in a comedic yet heartfelt manner.
The film stands in stark contrast to Green's horror films, creating a narrative landscape where warm familial bonds replace themes of possession and fear.
