Summary

The Oscar-nominated actress talks to Rebecca about the film's bold and honest take on motherhood and relationships. While making the film, in which she plays a mother who is convinced she's turning into a dog, Adams says she learned to accept both her character and herself in a new way. "I wasn't judging myself, and I was meeting her where I was at and approaching it without vanity," she says. Plus, Adams looks back on making films like Enchanted and Sunshine Cleaning, and reveals what she did when she debated leaving acting for good.
