Rees became the first black woman director to have a movie added to the Criterion collection with her award-winning film about queerness, Pariah. The stunning movie also got recognized at Sundance and the Film Independent Spirit and Gotham Awards. The young and upcoming director is the face of new Hollywood. It has gone on to get critical acclaim for her other projects like Bessie—which received four Emmy awards, and Mudbound—which got four Oscar nominations.
