He was like, "It's actually quite hard to not speak a lot," because you're just like, "I'm not fu**ing doing anything. Suki Waterhouse: Yeah, I didn't think about that too much, and then Jason said something interesting in Venice. How daunting was that for you coming into this, knowing that this is a character, who, for most of it, was going to be more of a physical performance than a vocal one. So, again, congratulationsĪna, I know we talked about the fact that there was limited dialogue in the film, but for your character, Suki, I think what is so amazing is the first 20 minutes or so, I don't even think you speak other than we hear you scream.
JAYDA FINK MOVIE
Sometimes, you see a movie at a festival, and you're like, "Okay, was I just on the festival high or something?" But watching it again, I loved it even more because I got to pick up on a lot of details that I'd missed that first time.

Watching Bad Batch a second time, I completely fell in love with this movie all over again.

The Bad Batch arrives in theaters, and on VOD and various digital platforms this Friday, June 23rd, courtesy of Neon. Arlen will stop at nothing to find a way to make amends with those she’s wronged, and figure out just how she fits into the world, forever branded as “Bad Batch.”Īt the recent press day for The Bad Batch, Daily Dead had the opportunity to sit down and chat with both Amirpour and Waterhouse about their collaboration, and during the interview the pair discussed everything from Amirpour’s unusual storytelling approach to finding purpose in life, to how desensitized audiences have become to violence over the last few years (and much more). Once she escapes their clutches, she finds respite at a nearby commune called “Comfort,” which is overseen by the enigmatic figure known only as “The Dream” (Keanu Reeves, who couldn’t be more perfectly cast in this role).īut as Arlen struggles with her new existence and her own rage, she makes some terrible decisions one fateful afternoon that sets off a dangerous chain of events. One of my favorite movies out of Fantastic Fest 2016 (read my review here) was Ana Lily Amirpour’s The Bad Batch, which follows a young woman named Arlen (Suki Waterhouse), who is released from a secretive prison into the desert and must fend for herself against a group of cannibals led by Miami Man (Jason Momoa).
