Alison Brie talks 'Happiest Season' and mentions Kristen



What can you say about Clea DuVall's Happiest Season, which I'm really looking forward to seeing someday?

(Laughs.) Well, I haven't heard much about Happiest Season, although I feel like it might be on track to still be released this year? I say that with a giant question mark, but what a fun movie. Oh, it was just a blast to shoot, and it has an incredible cast. Mackenzie Davis and Kristen Stewart lead the way. It's like a totally joyful holiday rom-com. And it's about Mackenzie Davis' character bringing her girlfriend, Kristen Stewart's character, home for the holidays, and her family doesn't yet know that she's gay. And it's a holiday rom-com, but it's also a family comedy, holiday movie. It's got a bunch of delicious characters and again, an amazing cast: Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Holland, who co-wrote the movie with Clea DuVall. Clea is an incredible director, and we really had such a fun time with everybody on set. It was such a joyful experience, and it was really fun for me coming out of shooting The Rental and Horse Girl, which were very dramatic thrillers. It was nice to have that release.

Cinematographer Rachel Morrison talks 'Seberg' and mentions Kristen




Part of the attraction of Seberg was getting the opportunity to work with Kristen Stewart. “I thought Kristen was an interesting choice to play Jean because she has lived so much of her life in the public eye as well. At such a young age she was engaged in many public ‘scandals’ which to me raises the question ‘What right do we have to cross from her screen presence to her private life?’ Her performance is really quite stunning.”

“Our supporting cast which included Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz, Anthony Mackie, Jack O’Connell, and Vince Vaughn were each incredible to work with,” remarks Morrison. “The chemistry between Anthony and Kristen was amazing; they brought so much life to the screen.” When asked about her favorite shot in the film, the Academy Award-nominee replies, “I’m partial to the underwater shot because its unexpected. You’re with Jean for so long above water, but its this fluid moment and then suddenly you descend below the surface with her.” Any other surprise takeaways from the film? “Benedict was obsessed with mirrors. There is a theme about reality versus perceived reality versus someone’s fractured reality. While I think that there are twice as many mirror shots than we needed they’re admittedly quite beautiful.”
