> “My brain was obviously feeling sympathy for myself because I’d abused myself and really manipulated my own emotions to get a performance, but I also then felt sorry for what I’d done,” Pugh said. “It was very, very strange and I’ve never ever been worried about my characters from the day that I finish. But [Dani] was the one that I felt like I’d left her in that field with the film crew just filming her cry.”
> Any abuse that Pugh suffered during the making of “Midsommar” was strictly self-inflicted and had nothing to do with Aster. She’s always had nothing but praise for the director, once telling The New York Times last year that he’s “peculiar in a mad genius kind of a way” and “a stand-up comedian at heart.” She added, “Once you laugh at one thing, he will try and make you laugh at all the other things. He’ll keep going and everybody will be crying in fits of laughter.”
I think everyone was depressed for six months after watching her portrayal. All time legendary performance.
Same, Flo. I was also depressed for six months after watching Midsommar.
First world problems
What an important job she has
This is such old news.
And girl, you got paid a nice fee for that exhaustion. There’s peasants earning less than a dollar a day in developing countries who will probably never get six months holiday their whole lives.
Great movie but relax Flo
Offensive stupid ass film. Turned an innocent Scandic family centered celebration into something sinister and demonic.
Life is just so hard
There needs to be a reality tv show where actors have to take up an actually difficult job on a regular wage for a few months
