Either she is a "Name" Writer/Director, or this is her first film. Trying to hit both beats simultaneously does each idea a disservice, I think. Would have been better to simply say "The first film from Natalie Portman" and save the Writer/Director bit for elsewhere. Oh well. Just my opinion.

There\’s something inherently smug and pretentious about the phrase \’the first film by writer/director Natalie Portman\’, as though it\’s something the world has long been waiting for and is the first of what will undoubtedly be a long string of earth shatteringly brilliant works. Thank the lord she\’s finally done it.
