But, you know, when you were nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, people were like, that was supposed to be a comedy?

It feels like horror to me.

I know.

Yeah, totally.

It's not Bridesmaids.

No, it's a different sort of comedy.

Totally.

But that scene's so funny hearing it, especially because Mary's so serious.

And she's my friend and I'm like just dying because she's... And she also looks like she's 12 years old, Mary, and she's playing the doctor.

But that's what happens.

All of a sudden you get to a certain age and there's all these younger people telling you what to do and you're like, oh my God.

I think something that the film does so well is convey that pressure of what it's like to be a caretaker, like the darkness of it, because it feels relentless, like you never stop worrying.

And, you know, there are these decisions that the director makes.

For example, there's this constant beeping of the machine that happens through the film.

And, you know, it's the machine that feeds the daughter through the feeding tube.

And you can hear that throughout the movie and that adds to the anxiety.

And I think

That's also what happens when you're a caregiver, like there's that constant beeping in the background.

Yeah, these noises get magnified.

And actually, Mary Bronstein made those louder, just a bit, like the clock on the wall, the beeping of the machine, all those things were louder, because they are in her point of view.
