Kate Winslet directing her son's screenplay screams nepo-baby.
But when you throw in the fact that the son's dad is Sam Mendes and he didn't want to direct it... that's nepo-funny.

Increasingly believe that the only ways to be able to work full-time as an artist are either benefitting from the safety of familial wealth, being part of a dual-income household, or acquiring the patronage of a Florentine banking and political dynasty that ascended to power in the 15th century
