,” an unnerving and deeply disturbing look at an older man who grooms a bored teenager, asks challenging questions about consent and predation., a veteran scene-stealer in “Kingdom” and “Westworld,” is a revelation, painting a picture of pure evil that is nonetheless charming and seductive. He appears on the scene as Lea is feeling bored and disconnected from her single mother and friends and prays on that loneliness and dissatisfaction for sinister ends.
Tom remains preternaturally calm throughout the film. He never really erupts, although there’s a danger to him. Was that important to your characterization? You can’t scare the deer. I thought a lot about foxes. They can so be cute and agile, they bounce as they walk, there’s a gracefulness with that thick tail, their eyes are similar to a dog, and yet they can be ferocious. They don’t always pose an immediate threat, and that’s how they’ve been so successful as a hunter. That’s how they worm their way into a henhouse.Evil, like Old Testament evil, comes with grace and charm and humor. You don’t see it coming.
Lily McInerny is stunning in this film, and I believe it’s her first major role. What was she like to work with? She just owns this movie and there are going to be so many offers and opportunities coming her way. We shot this at the height of #MeToo, and I was really scared. The content of the film, what we had to do as actors, I was petrified. Not because I’m worried about my own behavior in any way shape or form. As much as you choreograph things and have conversations and have an intimacy coordinator establishing boundaries, you’re still playing with fire.
