I know we don’t really talk about The Starling Girl because of how triggering the character that Lewis plays in that is.
However, that is honestly one of my favorite performances from him. It reminded me slightly of The Devil All The Time (maybe that has to do with Eliza?) and he was just so convincing. Like, the whole time I knew I shouldn’t fall for the hot young preacher but he’s charming and I did and it’s easy to put yourself in Jemma’s shoes.
Anyways, it’s actually a good movie and Lewis is really good in it and if you can handle the contents it’s definitely a movie that you should watch.
Lewis Pullman really signed up for a film where he’s a literal predator and had the audacity to show up not just looking like “the good-looking youth pastor,” but like, the hottest guy in your small town of 15,000. He really said, “I’ll fuck with your emotions AND hormones, and you’ll be just as confused as the poor girl I prey on in this film.”
