Sidney Flanigan opens up about how she approached her mostly quiet, starring role, including what it was like to film the emotional scene that gives the movie its title.
Sidney Flanigan never really thought about becoming an actor, but after meeting director Eliza Hittman through tangential ties to the Insane Clown Posse, she took on the lead role in the filmmaker's latest filmwith the hope of using the drama as a platform to speak out about abortion rights.
"I always wanted to be able to contribute somehow to the cause, and this was an opportunity to do that," Flanigan says., arrives at a time in which there's frequently talk of Roe v. Wade being overturned and abortion access curtailed after Brett Kavanaugh was appointed to the Supreme Court and a number of states passed laws, currently being challenged in courts, that would ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Not entirely, but I kind of was excited to take the risk and dive in head first and give it a shot. I did my best to transfer what I knew about performing as a musician over to acting. I think that, as a musician, a lot of times I take another persona onstage. I have to get into a different emotional headspace in order to deliver a song a certain way. I kind of thought it applied a little bit.
It was definitely pretty intense. There were two cameras on me, very close, so it created already this kind of feeling of vulnerability. The social worker that I was working with in that scene was a real social worker, so it created this atmosphere of authenticity. I just remember trying to figure out how to bring that emotion out. I just reached for something in my personal experience that may not have aligned with the context of the scene but still had the same emotional substance.
No I never came up with a backstory for the pregnancy itself. I was more so focused on the crisis that was presently going on. I maybe sort of created a vague idea of trauma not necessarily related to the pregnancy. For that scene in particular, it is shocking that we learn that that's something that happened to her, but at the same time, I think it speaks to the fact that most women have had at least one experience — even if it was not as violent as some others.
