“It feels like an exchange of energy from Alexis to Emily,” Demie tells MTV News about the moment, which serves as a transition between the film’s two main acts. The first half is largely dedicated to Emily’s older brother, Tyler , and his relationship with Alexis, while the final installment focuses on Emily as she navigates her own relationships.
