“The range that I discovered working with Tom is unprecedented for me as a director. I was so f—ing impressed and happy… [Tom Cruise] gives himself. He has an incredible sense of passion. It’s a brutal comedy. It’s a wild comedy of human nature. It’s scary and funny. It’s beautiful. I will start editing next week. It was a very challenging film, you will see. It’s many borders of many things.”
