Shailene Woodley delivered one of her most venerable performances to date in her latest movie Endings, Beginnings, and she looked back at the experience of improvising her lines in this experimental movie in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
According to its official plotline, Endings, Beginnings tells the story of a 30-something-year-old woman, navigating through love and heartbreak over the course of one year. In addition to the Big Little Lies star, its cast also includes Jamie Dornan and Sebastian Stan.
Endings, Beginnings was directed by Drake Doremus (Like Crazy and Equals) who often asks his actors to improvise their dialog, and that’s one of the biggest challenges that Woodley had to face while working on her latest project.
“[The production felt] incredibly authentic, real, raw and stripped-down – more so than any other project I’ve ever been a part of. Because the entire thing was improvised, there was a sense of immediate sensitivity and vulnerability that had to exist between ourselves with ourselves and ourselves with each other,” Woodley told The Hollywood Reporter.
Endings, Beginnings had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and it started streaming on April 17th, after its theatrical release was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
