It’s an interesting change of pace for Ortega, who seemed to have been aware that she’d found a bit of a niche as the “weird girl” in the likes of Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, and The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Of course, since filming Klara and the Sun, Ortega has appeared in projects like Winter Spring Summer or Fall, and last year’s A24 fantasy movie Death of a Unicorn, but Klara and the Sun saw her break out of her mould at the time.
“Klara had just a pure, completely innocent, untainted optimism about her that you can’t find in a person of that age,” she told The New York Times. “Eventually you get older, and you’re a bit jaded or a bit scarred by certain things. You’ve learned a lot. You’ve maybe built a bit more of a wall. Klara didn’t have that wall, which is the complete opposite of a lot of the other characters I play where, you know, they hide who they are, or they don’t want their emotion to be seen. I just felt like it was a good place to be vulnerable and try something new.”
Klara and the Sun will be released in theatres on October 23.
