While the film focuses on acute post-traumatic stress, there’s also elements of childhood trauma weaved into the storyline.
‘Her untenable home, her inability to commit to one thing or another because of these internal injuries that are completely invisible but huge — I think I connected with that at that specific time in my life,’ the first-time mother revealed to deadline. ‘So much was going on with me at that time that I didn’t realize. Until I was back, pregnant, married, making it [the film]. And I was just like, “Oh, this is a woman who is scared to commit.”‘
