ENTERTAINMENTIt caused a storm at this year’s festival and drew rave reviews.
Variety found it “chillingly dark,” The Guardian admired its “complex chemistry” and The Hollywood Reporter dubbed it a “hidden gem.” Drawing from her own experience, Manning Walker speaking to AFP earlier during the festival, said she was inspired by “the best times of my life,” but also the sexual assault she suffered at 16—and wanted to show it all without judgment.“I think we as women know that experience way too much—we don’t need to be re-traumatized,” she said.“Everything was from her eyeline and everything was on her face and reading her emotion,” she said.
Before directing she was a cinematographer for nearly a decade and shot films for other young British talents including Charlotte Regan’s “Scrapper” which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance film festival this year. She has also made music videos and adverts, as well as two short films including “Good Thanks, You?” which screened at Cannes in 2020. /
