"The Oscar-winning actor is making her Venice film festival debut with the psychological thriller from the Italian director Luca Guadagnino. It premieres out of competition on the Lido on Friday evening. The drama is set in the world of higher education and stars Roberts as a beloved professor who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (the Bear's Ayo Edebiri) makes an accusation of assault against her friend and colleague (Andrew Garfield)."
"Not to be disagreeable because it's not in my nature, Roberts responded with a smile. I don't think it's just reviving an argument of women being pitted against each other or not supporting each other. There's a lot of old arguments that get rejuvenated in this movie in a way that does create conversation. The best part of your question is that you all came out of the theatre talking about it. That's how we wanted it to feel."
