Melanie Lynskey is known for her talent for portraying complex, conflicted characters.
“It’s all in the script,” she told The List.
“The scripts were so detailed in all the moments.

“She was quite popular in college,” Lynskey explained.
She could have kind of had her a pick of anybody.
And I kind of loved that.

It made where she was in her marriage all the more poignant to me.”
And for this, Lynskey found Biel a rewarding partner to work with.
“Jessica [Biel] is somebody who is very surprising.

I just was always taken aback at the choices she was making.
It was always something that felt really fresh and interesting,” she said.
And this enabled her to bring out the best in her own performance.
And she’s all of that, she’s just so talented.
I really loved working with her."
