      Severance is really good at juggling subtext and on-the-nose dialogue.

    Absolute gold!!! John Gray makes the idea of subtext (and other really important aspects of acting, writing) so easy to understand and do! Thank you, Karen and Film Courage! :)

    Is subtext is a must for all genres and kinds of movies? Or is it a director's take or choice?

    The words the characters are saying in not what's going on in the scene is a huge misconception. When used properly, dialogue is action. It is a battle for each characters want, it's a character's Jungian Ego in action - who the character currently is or wants to be seen as. Subtext is exactly what he's saying it is, but dialogue is much more than he's saying it is.

    I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards
