Anna Kendrick Interview: Ditching Her "Bag of Tricks" to Make Alice, Darling

Anna Kendrick has accomplished quite a bit over the years. She’s been racking up film and television credits since Twilight, earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Up in the Air, helped turn Pitch Perfect into a beloved franchise, and then some. But, her latest film poses quite the challenge and it’s a challenge she was only able to meet after ditching the “bag of tricks” she’s amassed over the years.
Kendrick leads Alice, Darling as the title character, a young woman in a relationship with a psychologically abusive boyfriend (Charlie Carrick). While on vacation with her two closest friends, Tess (Kaniehtiio Horn) and Sophie (Wunmi Mosaku), they notice her struggling and try to figure out how to help Alice recognize the situation she’s in and rediscover her true self.
With Alice, Darling celebrating its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Kendrick, Horn, Carrick, and director Mary Nighy visited the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to discuss their experience bringing Alice’s story to screen.
Special thanks to our TIFF 2022 partners A-list Communications, Belvedere Vodka, Marbl Toronto, COVERGIRL Canada, Tres Amici Wines, Toronto Star, and Blue Moon Belgian White beer.

This story reminds me of a ex gf who would demand to know where I was constantly… and would always neg me.. I will probably feel a lot for Alice in this. Looking forward to seeing it

I like how Anna says film instead of movie probably cause she's around these Brits.
