Anna Kendrick, star of the 2022 film Alice, Darling, discussed how her past experience in an emotionally abusive relationship led her to take the leading role in the film.
The actress, 37, revealed how personal the role was back in September when the film made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Alice, Darling follows Alice (played by Kendrick), whose emotionally abusive relationship with boyfriend Simon (Charlie Carrick) causes her to unravel during a trip with her friends, played by Kaniehtiio Horn and Wunmi Mosaku. Kendrick had recently gotten out of an abusive relationship when she first received the script for the film.
