Yes, the line to get into the party was long. But the process was competent, and once inside, the venue was airy enough to allow schmoozing with relative ease. At the party, Sydney Sweeney told me that the Christy premiere on Friday was the most emotional of her career. She sat behind former professional boxer, Christy Martin, whom she plays in the film, and couldn’t assist but cry as the credits rolled. Sweeney felt a deep connection to the whole cast as they made their way onto the stage for their Q&A. Whatever online drama she had experienced in the last couple of weeks seemed behind her as she looked forward to the release of this film—and its potential awards season campaign.
Nina Hoss, co-star of the Amazon film Hedda—based on the play Hedda Gabler, and set to premiere Sunday night—was excited to finally see the film with an audience. At the party, Hoss (who was spotted chatting with Hedda costar Tessa Thompson) said that when she read the script, she was excited by the idea the idea of changing the gender of her character; she was interested to see what audiences thought about the decision, made by director Nia DaCosta.
