A producer of Green Book, the feelgood race-relations drama that won the best picture Oscar, has sent angry emails to writers who have criticised the film.
Vanity Fair’s film critic, K Austin Collins, said he had also received a message from Wessler, after a piece on Green Book, that was “more finger-waggy and longer-winded” than the one sent to Miller.
Green Book has been repeatedly criticised for its retrograde racial politics, most recently being described as “a major step backwards” by the Guardian’s Joseph Harker.
Wessler’s email is the latest misstep for the team behind the Oscar-winning film.
