Fanning does it again in her latest film, Very Good Girls, but this is the first time her character’s journey closely mirrored events happening simultaneously in Dakota’s own life. We chatted with the star about playing a role that hit so close to home, how the film is being completely mis-marketed, and the perks of being a secret non-wallflower.
What first attracted you to the role of Lilly?
“When I read the script, I was sort of experiencing a similar thing to her. I was about to graduate from high school. I was preparing to go to college and move to New York, so I related to that. By the time I filmed the movie, I was living in New York on my own. I had had sort of the whole same experience. I felt I could really understand the story and what Lilly was going through. It was a timing thing.”
This film is being billed as a “virginity pact” movie, but it feels like a lot more than that.
“I’m really kind of disturbed by that description; it’s so not what [the movie] is about to me. I think it’s about friendship, growing up, and leaving chapters of your life behind. And, how life can get really complicated. Naomi [Foner, the director] says it’s a story about learning to tell the truth, and how difficult that lesson can be sometimes."
