Patricia Clarkson talks to The A.V. Club about Easy A, Stanley Tucci, and her new film Monica starring Trace Lysette
Given Clarkson’s enthusiasm, it seems likely that the sequel could include some of the original family members. In the meantime, she’s promoting her latest film, a very different kind of “family story.” The movie stars Trace Lysette as a transgender woman who returns home after many years away having transitioned; Clarkson plays her mother Eugenia, who is dying of brain cancer, “in and out of lucidity,” and doesn’t recognize her daughter.
“It’s heartbreaking, but life affirming in the end,” Clarkson says. Regarding what drew her to the role, she said “I was drawn to the movie, because it was not lost on me that a transgender actress was finally going to lead a beautiful film, be at the center of a really substantial, amazing film. But I was drawn to this movie also because I liked the journey of Eugenia. It was challenging to play someone in the final months of their life.
