“She’s my favorite character ever,” says Stone of playing the wild, shame-free protagonist of Lanthimos’s coming-of-age tale.

“It was horrible,” he said of his experience promoting the film without his cast. “It took so long to make it and they were an integral part, and to not be able to celebrate together and bring the film out into the world with them, it was quite sad.” Stone, who plays Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life by a mad surgeon , had mixed feelings about the experience. “It was very emotional, the whole thing, in a positive and difficult way,” she said.

How did you play Bella in those early days of her life, when mentally she’s essentially a toddler? Stone: Any character that you play, like any person, has a history to them and has things that have happened in their lives that shape who they are, and because she didn’t have any of that, it was really freeing to just play around and experiment with someone of that young mental age that she is in the very beginning.
