Thomas Kail Forced Michelle Williams To Endure Tropical Vacation In Cruel Career Gimmick

While most of us are struggling to fit a singular sourdough starter into our daily schedules, Thomas Kail is out here treating the set of Moana like a glorified daycare center. In a move that truly redefines 'bring your daughter to work day,' Kail basically packed up Michelle Williams and their four children and told them they were going to live in a postcard for a while. The sheer audacity of making your family sit on a beach while you play with Moana puppets is the kind of work-life balance that should be illegal. Poor Michelle. Imagine being an Oscar-nominated actress known for your devastatingly serious roles, only to be relegated to 'Woman Holding a Toddler Near a Hibiscus' because your husband has to film a Maui musical. We can only assume she spent the entire trip staring longingly at a rain cloud, wishing for a gritty indie film set in a cold basement in Brooklyn just to even out the vibes. Kail says he aims to make work a 'family experience,' which is a high-end way of saying he didn't want to pay for a house sitter and figured Hawaii has enough sand to keep the kids busy for six months. If this is the new standard for directing, I expect my boss to fly my entire extended family and my neighbor’s goldfish to Maui the next time I have to send an email.
