‘Alice Darling’ shows complexity of female friendships and how they provide salvation
When it comes to female friendships, Anna Kendrick says the mutual respect and energy of a close friend group can be a source of great strength.
“It’s not about gender but it feels like a superpower. That’s something that women choose to and are allowed to cultivate,” Kendrick said. “I wish that experience for everyone, regardless of where they fall on the gender spectrum.” At times the three friends in the film seem distant, wondering out loud if they have much left in common. Occasionally, they trade barbs about each other’s eating habits or career choices.
Kendrick said those actions start out small and not very noticeable, but as it grows it gives the audience a view inside Alice’s mind. “I was really interested in these moments where friendships can kind of wither on the vine due to not really understanding what’s going on with the other person,” she said.
Francis also said shewanted to explore the ways people sometimes fail their friends and displays that in the movie with Sophie and Tess not being on the same page with Alice about her relationship. Alice then feels tension between them because she doesn’t understand why she feels separated from her friends.The Toronto-based production duo behind the film said these themes in the script deeply resonated with them.
