Maggie Gyllenhaal

And if you know anything about me, you know, I mean, if you look to any of my work, I mean, so much of my work, even starting with Secretary when I was 22, all the way through, this is something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about, doing myself, considering.

And I am sure that in the process of both writing, shooting, and cutting this movie,

That I have been thoughtful and very considered about this particular subject.

And yet, it will be hard to watch.

And I think we can take it.

I think we can.

I mean, there is a piece of this.

This is a piece of what the movie is about.

I understand.

But also, and I think with all of these movies, like I say, think about The Deuce.

Sex worker, turned director but director of porn.

But really, she's a woman with a mind.

And, like, all of these movies really, I think, are about women with a mind, you know?

Like, even think about Secretary, which is a very complicated one, which we can get into if you want.

I was going to.

I don't know.

To me, in some ways, the violence is, like, beside the point.

It's not the violence.

It's the rage.

Oh, it's the rage.
