Neither her best film with Ghost in the title, nor the best version of Ghost in the Shell.

Not that I disagree with your point. She has acting chops wasted in MCU.

Especially since it’s not original, but adapted from a book.

Almost every language has a few films that stand out, and she’d be more engaged this way too.

And works very well as a good springboard for exploring the world’s cinematic greats.
