This caught my eye. I knew the film Yesterday to be a Danny Boyle (director) film, so I initially though they must be referring to another film with the same name. But down below they later confirm it IS the same movie.
Why is this article framing the screenwriter (Richard Curtis) as the filmmaker? Is this a convention of French culture? To give the writer prime creative credit over the director? Nothing against screenwriters; they're arguably just (if not more) important to shaping the story. It just strikes me as very strange.
