Tony Colette's character in 'Wayward' is a cult leader dealing with trauma, requiring her to find a balance between being unnerving and relatable, guided by director Aos Lynn.
In 'Goodbye June', directed by Kate Winslett, the film explores diverse sibling reactions to a parent's impending death, emphasizing that grief has no single correct expression.
Colette advises that when children or family members pull away, it is often a phase related to development or hormonal changes, and giving them space while maintaining availability is key.
