Superbly underplayed by Chloë Kerwin... Ms. Kerwin shows beautifully naturalistic tenderness as Beth Anne starts to realize how much of normal life she has missed.
His daughter, Beth Anne, is portrayed by Chloë Kerwin in a wonderful feature debut (prior to her “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” turn) that splits the difference between her teenaged character’s wide-eyed curiosity and hard-earned maturity that she’s slowly and reluctantly settling into.
Kerwin may be early in her career, but she already holds her own next to a veteran like Blake Nelson. The easy intimacy and rapport of a parent and child bonded by hardship and struggle comes naturally to both actors. Tom does not show as much emotion as Beth Anne, allowing Kerwin to assert herself using her vulnerability.
“Henry and I considered countless actresses for this difficult role, and it became clear it was Chloë’s and only Chloë’s,” Tim Blake Nelson said. “She embodies the wit, street smarts and pathos that Henry wrote into the character. She does this effortlessly, almost as if being observed in real life, not filmed on a set. That we get to introduce her to the public is a privilege,” said Tim Blake Nelson.
