Andrea Riseborough is one of the most exciting creators out there right now. If you can’t get behind that statement, odds are, you haven’t seen enough of her one-of-a-kind filmography. From Birdman to Battle of the Sexes, Black Mirror, Mandy, Possessor, and then some, Riseborough is consistently taking on bold projects, completely vanishing into her roles, and showing a willingness to take her work to the nth degree to bring the trustiest version of her characters' experiences to the screen.
As with every Collider Ladies Night, the chat began by asking Riseborough for the particular film, performance, or personal experience that first made her say, “I have to be an actor.” But, in Riseborough's case, that question doesn't quite align with how she views her craft. She explained: “I think the first film performance that I couldn't breathe when I saw it was Marlon Brando’s Stanley Kowalski. That was such a meeting of two different worlds of artistry between Vivian Lee and her incredible performative, emotive style of acting and Brando's ability to suck everything in the room toward him, and to see those two things coexisting and both being as utterly brilliant and effective in two totally different ways.
Given the fact that Riseborough’s lengthy list of films and shows includes a significant amount of industry icons, I was especially excited to ask her a go-to Collider Ladies Night question; of all of her past co-stars, whose process aligns with hers the most? Here’s what she said: “I feel like everybody who made this film has had a Leslie in their life or has orbited one or felt like they hold characteristics of Leslie and identify with her in many ways, or have had both experiences, and it was clear when we finished that film that it had been like a marathon for us all because to be around her, as you can imagine — and not just the amount of times we see her having an outburst, but over and over and over and over again because on a film set you're seeing it way more...
Tackling that challenge paid off big time. Yes, it’s wonderful that the film scored Riseborough that Spirit Award nomination for Best Lead Performance, but she’s more focused on the fact that that nomination means more people will discover the film:
