In this year’s Venice Film Festival, the premiere of the movie garnered positive responses, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Nevertheless, Nicole Kidman expressed some ambiguous emotions regarding the showing.

At a press gathering, the actor expressed that this project makes them feel unguarded, anxious, and exposed. However, working on it with this specific team was tender, private, and incredibly profound.

She expressed: “Currently, we’re all feeling somewhat anxious – it’s as if I’m thinking, I hope my hands aren’t trembling – yet, I feel incredibly proud to be part of a festival such as this, and to be moving forward with films that are still in production, especially those led by women.”
