“passion project” is thrown around a lot in Hollywood; usually as a reference to a personal story that means a ton to its writer, director or star. This Oscar season, there are a lot of so-called passion projects that have received accolades.

This being their fifth project together — their shared credits also include the 2017 best picture nominee “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” — she says, “I think he just kind of knew what I was going to do.” Much like her reserved character, “I didn’t feel this needs to be ‘I’m going to be the current lead,’ and ‘I’m going to steal the scenes.’ ”
“It’s so delicate because, in telling the story truthfully, he never wanted to expose the person that he loved to judgment — to expose the thing that really haunted her whole life,” Williams told actor Laura Dern during their conversation for Variety’s Actors on Actors.
