The sisterhood at the heart of Sense and Sensibility

Why must dying people always wish for something extravagant? You hate her too. Admit it. He's not handsome, is he? Because that was really intentional from Georgia and Diana, you know, our director and writer. They really wanted to centralize the love story as being the two girls. And so, I mean, it felt really effortless creating that dynamic with Esme. We worked together when I was 19 and she was 17. So we've known each other a very long time. And obviously so much of sisterhood is a shared history. in the context and I and I remember loving acting across from Esme when I was 19 and the same was you know it was the case when I was 27 when I was filming this and um yeah I mean like so much of a discovery of character happens when you're then playing you know that person across from somebody else and so for me um I had an idea of who I thought Eleanor was but it wasn't until I really started acting those scenes with with with Esme's Marianne that I really understood her and it was such a gift and and and something I'm so I'm so proud of and so grateful that I've had as an experience we've known each other for for since since we were teenagers and we also just get on really well I mean I think you you either kind of have chemistry with someone or you don't and it doesn't necessarily mean any you know you just kind of do and we were just really lucky I think that on this job we really did just get on really well and um and we very quickly just kind of slotted into that kind of familial sisterly best friend sort of energy like that they have that and then and that and I think it's I think it's awesome and I don't think I mean I definitely couldn't have got gotten through the project without the support and that that sense of vulnerability
