00:00collective Life is in front of the boys. You suck
00:03you suck
00:04i want to say. I love you so much
00:06congratulations on a such heartfelt performance
00:09thank you
00:10i think your first cént COLUSCHUN a so much about this
00:14I recognized how to brush your teeth
00:16the tension...everything
00:18those small details
00:19so how did you decide that?
00:21the small behaviour is for this character
00:24someone said
00:25is this thing over
00:27I'm pretty sure it was her
00:29I think the first way in was the physicality because it was so new for me.
00:35I started months before training and using my body as my strength and my skill
00:44and learning a lot about really being specifically an Olympic volleyball player.
00:49But a woman as a professional athlete as the best in the world
00:54is a very different woman than I've ever played.
00:59And it's like she has the precision, she's meticulous, she's methodical,
01:05she can say what she means, but she hasn't caught up with emotionally why,
01:11how she got there, where she's at, what's happened in their marriage,
01:15who she wants to be, what she's lost in her life.
01:18And the same with this male character that Will Arnett plays.
01:22And then the movie starts watching two people who don't have language
01:27around these feelings.
01:29And then they have to catch up with that over the course of the movie.
01:33You had that great line which touched me a lot about real relationships.
01:38It's about finding somebody you can be unhappy with.
01:40So why do you think that idea hits people so strongly?
01:44I was so touched by it too.
01:46And I think it's because we're so raised with the fear, partly made by cinema,
01:53that a great relationship means you're just happy and in love the whole time.
01:58We saw it in movies as children and we're trying to replicate that idea.
02:04And I notice in life, when people are in pain, when people are in grief,
02:11societies, all cultures make us feel that we're supposed to be okay.
02:16They'll give us a couple of days to have a hard time and then we're supposed to be fine.
02:20And we're not fine.
02:21I was unhappy in our marriage.
02:24I wasn't unhappy with our marriage.
02:28Life isn't fine.
02:30A lot of complicated feelings are happening all the time.
02:34And you must, hopefully, in partnership, find the place where you can land
02:40and be honest about being unhappy and hold each other in it
02:44and not have to pretend.
02:47Sure.
02:47Or worse, lie.
02:48Also, I think the movie shows a silence between a couple like a big warning sign.
02:53So what do you think is the danger of that silence in any relationship,
02:57especially with a couple?
02:58Well, we all know.
03:00At every age.
03:02You know, my son, who's 24, saw the movie and he was like,
03:05Oh my God, I so relate to this film.
03:07If you don't tell the truth and if you don't express what you're feeling,
03:13all those feelings stack up and eventually it comes out
03:18and you don't even know how you got there.
03:20And I think the movie beautifully expresses that.
03:22These people have done this for 20 years of not talking.
03:25And I think that's why this idea of, is this thing on?
03:30Is the microphone on?
03:32It's like we're meeting them at the moment I first said,
03:36you know, are we calling it?
03:38Are you going to be okay?
03:41I'll be okay.
03:43I'll be okay.
03:46Thank you so much.
03:47Unfortunately, I have to wrap up.
03:49So thank you.
03:49I can't wait for audiences all over the world to discover Tess
03:53and his story and your remarkable performance.
