The director is the creative vision that is the final say on most, if not all, aspects of the film. They are the person who has the job of taking a script and turning it in to a movie.
Naturally they will delegate some of their authority to other directors and departments because “implementing a creative vision” is a really large task that is hard for just one person to do properly, but in general if there is a decision to be made the director or someone the director appoints will make it.
It’s in the name: the director directs. They are in control, and they are the person giving everyone orders what to do and when, how, and to do it again if it’s not right.
