The star's new Netflix film premiered Tuesday at the Directors Guild of America theater in Los Angeles.
The timing of the film’s release strikes a distinctive parallel between Ruth’s journey — reemerging into society— and that of the rest of the world, as people around the globe struggle to readjust to a post-quarantine life.
But rather than coming out of a pandemic, Ruth is forced to grapple with the consequences of her own past. “I think the movie is very important to be told nowadays because people are feeling more and more lonely,” said Ferres. “The loneliness and despair, and [wanting] to find comfort and acceptance in society is what happens for a lot of people.” “We all know what it’s like to miss someone at the moment,” added actress Aisling Franciosi, who plays Katie Malcolm in the film. “A lot of us haven’t seen family or friends that we deeply care about in 18 months, close to two years. I think it’ll really resonate with people, this feeling of just needing to hold someone again that you love dearly. There’s a bit of a parallel in that.” At only her second red carpet premiere in her career, cast member Emma Nelson gushed over her A-list costars. “I grew up watching Sandy in movies,” the actress said of Bullock. “I think it’s something that’s like, ‘Oh, it’s an actor’s dream.’ But with someone like Sandy, she elevates the people around her, which sounds like a little bit of a cornball thing to say, but it is really true. Not only did she make me feel insanely welcome and comfortable, even though this is my second film ever, I felt like I belonged where I was.” She also praised the COVID-19 safety and compliance of the production, having shot the film at the height of the pandemic in 2020. “We’ve been so safe, it was so impressive,” said Nelson. “When we got back to filming in 2020, the amount of caution that was put in to avoid anybody getting sick — it worked. So many other productions were getting shut down all around us and we were all keeping our N-95s and our face shields on and our gloves and everything. It’s just the level of professionalism that I would expect from these people.”
