“I think it was because it was such a physical role, the echoes of it are still with me and I think, like many other audience members, I need time to process it,” she said of Tár.
‘Of course I’m lucky enough to work with some amazing directors who have changed my life, but when it all comes together like this, it sticks with you.
“So I never want to work again,” she added with a laugh.
