Ruth Wilson Says True Things is an Honest Depiction of Infatuation
Wilson's character doesn't simply like being around Blond; whether it's good for her or not, she needs to be. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, the actress shares her thoughts surrounding her character's state throughout True Things.
"It's a very honest depiction of that initial infatuation between two people, how it can take over your whole body - and then what happens when reality creeps in. Harry [Harriet] Wootliff, the director, calls it the 'Midsummer Night's Dream Effect' - when, in the early stages, you see something magical and brilliant in another person, but eventually the veil lifts, and you realize... it's a donkey."
The film is currently sitting at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. So be sure to head to the cinema on Sept. 9 to see how Ruth Wilson deals with her undeniable fixation and eventual realization in True Things.
