What
Sidney Flanigan is a true beginner, having never even thought of acting until she was cast in Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always. But despite that lack of experience, Flanigan’s performance has an almost shocking depth and nuance, and has received much Oscar buzz—an experience Flanigan calls “extremely crazy and weird, but very exciting”. The film follows a teenager forced to travel out of state to get an abortion. Along the way, she and her cousin face disappointments, setbacks and threats. It’s a story that resonated with Flanigan from the first. “The issue of reproductive rights, how it’s taboo and there’s a stigma around it,” she says, “that’s something that I feel is looming over women all the time. It affects pretty much all women alike, so I was instantly drawn to it.”
