Buckley, meanwhile, says that her role as Jake’s girlfriend “made me question my life.”

“It made me feel scared,” she says. “I thought, I have no idea what this is, but I want to go on this road trip that’s gonna tear me apart and put me back together, and then look at the world completely differently.”

The Wild Rose actor adds: “I think the biggest thing it asks of you is to acknowledge uncertainty in your life. I let whatever it gave me after each read inform a new thought, so that when I came to shoot, I would be full of different prototypes that might come out in the moment. But to be honest, what we found in shooting was that any preconceptions you had before going into a scene were completely futile because it ends up unravelling you. You don’t know where you’re gonna go!”
