This was by far my favourite film of the year. Tight, eloquent, subtle, profound. Glad to have seen this interview. A movie to be seen a second time, something I rarely do.

Incredible interview!! Now I’m more excited to watch this film on Netflix! I love learning what’s behind the making of films! And her personal connection just makes it even more complex. I appreciate her views on liberating her mother’s experiences. Thanks for making this interesting conversation available to us all here!

She was great in prestige
Rebecca Hall was born in London, England, the daughter of Peter Hall, a stage director and founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Maria Ewing, an opera singer. Her father was English. Her mother, who is American, is of Dutch and African-American origin. Her parents separated when she was still young, and they divorced in 1990. She has a half-brother, Edward Hall, who is a theatre director, and four other half-siblings, including theatre designer Lucy Hall, veteran TV drama producer Christopher Hall, and Jennifer Caron Hall, a writer and painter.
