  • And you're brilliant in it.

  • I mean, you disappear in every single role you play.

  • But she's like, this British character now.

  • And she's completely different.

  • It was like-- tell us about the movie.

  • Well it's a very personal movie that Bill Nicholson

  • It's about his life, his parents.

  • So when he was about 30, his parents divorced.

  • And they'd been married for 30 years.

  • And he leaves me.

  • Bill Nighy plays the husband, and Josh O'Connor plays my son.

  • And yes, Bill Nighy leaves me, her.

  • Yeah.

  • And it's really about this divorce.

  • And she just refuses to accept that he's leaving her.

  • Yeah.

  • And I just love that about her.

  • She's impossible.

  • Because the normal reaction in every movie we've ever seen is,

  • you want to divorce me.

  • I'm shocked.
