Olivia Munn tries to ignore her inner voice in the trailer for Justine Bateman’s Violet
What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Justine Bateman’s intriguing and immersive debut film follows Violet Calder (Olivia Munn) as she realizes she can no longer ignore the daily barrage of self-criticisms (voiced by Justin Theroux) that clouds her life. These self-criticisms cause her to make fear-based decisions and hold her back from the kind of professional, personal, and romantic life she knows she wants. Unsure how to live a life free from that self-doubt, like her childhood friend Red (Luke Bracey), Violet realizes she has no choice but to travel the road that’s more frightening than the fear that holds her back: Doing everything differently.
Hillary saw the film at this year’s TIFF and also spoke with Justine Bateman. Check out the review and interview.
