"Earlier this year, in spring 2025, the Berlin Silver Bear-winning actress (2007's "Yella") starred onstage at St. Ann's Warehouse in Dumbo, New York City, as melancholy matriarch Lyubov Ranevskaya in Benedict Andrews' "The Cherry Orchard," an adaptation of the Anton Chekhov classic. Seated two rows from the theater-in-the-round-style stage at St. Ann's, I observed Hoss actually weeping during a key emotional scene."
"Whether wasted out of her mind after Hedda Gabler ( Tessa Thompson) coaxes Hoss' imperious literature professor off the wagon, or a sobbing, heaving wreck of herself when the pages of her latest book go missing at a 1950s mansion party. It's another extraordinary, unmannered, and deeply felt performance from one of Europe's best working actors."
"It's slightly weird to talk about that because, in a way, I don't even think of [how to make myself cry]. When I put myself in this situation, in this moment, that's just what happens,"
IndieWire Honors will hold a winter ceremony on December 4 to celebrate filmmakers, artisans, and performers behind the year's best films. Nina Hoss elicits spontaneous tears when a moment demands authentic feeling. In spring 2025 Hoss performed as Lyubov Ranevskaya at St. Ann's Warehouse in Benedict Andrews' The Cherry Orchard, where she actually wept during a key emotional scene. In Nia DaCosta's gender-swapped adaptation Hedda Hoss plays Eileen Lovborg and traverses wide-ranging emotional distress, including drunken collapse and a sobbing wreck when manuscript pages vanish at a 1950s mansion party. Hoss will receive the Spotlight Award at a winter IndieWire Honors ceremony on Thursday, December 4.
