Not every ingénue is deserving of the attention Zoey Deutch is about to get. But this 23 year old already has the miraculous and mysterious skill of a veteran actor. Since her brilliantly nuanced performance in “Flower,” I have wanted to find out the secret to her magic. Her natural talent shines equally bright in heart-wrenching dramas such as “Before I Fall” and wild comedies like “The Year of Spectacular Men.” And now she has delivered a rom-com-pantheon-worthy performance opposite Glen Powell in the Netflix film “Set It Up.” We talk about “process and not outcome," being “right for a part and not just liking it,” and the “miracle” (my word) of The Pizza Scene. To say Zoey Deutch is about to be a giant star somehow belittles the power and artistry I believe she possesses. Instead, allow me to introduce her with one word I use sparingly: Maestro.
