Thanks for having me.

I want to talk about your new film because I have a lot of thoughts.

This film was adapted from a book by Ariana Harvitz, and Martin Scorsese was the one who wanted you to play this role after he read the book in his book club.

I know.

When you reached out, what did he say?

Back to the film, as I was watching it, it seemed to me sort of like this scream against the current elevation of domestic life and perfect motherhood as sort of the pinnacle of female achievement.

What is this film about for you?

Because I've read reviews that say that she has postpartum depression.

I've read reviews that say that she, you know, is bipolar.

I've read reviews that say that she has psychosis.

I'm wondering, first of all, does it matter?

And then how you understood what she is experiencing.

You brought it up.

That's why I have to be clear on what it is.

I think there's not going to be a franchise of this film, but who am I to say?

And anyway, she is someone who is...

She's really depressed.

Well, let me ask you something else then.

You just said you experienced postpartum depression after your second child.

Can you talk to me a little bit about what that looked like for you?
