Anya Taylor-Joy Revisits Method Acting: A Double Standard for Women in Hollywood
Anya Taylor-Joy reignites the method-acting debate with a resurfaced clip arguing women have less freedom to fully immerse in roles due to responsibilities and expectations, calling acting a ‘controlled psychosis’ while stressing immersion isn’t an excuse for bad behavior. The clip went viral on Reddit and social media, with many praising her stance on double standards and accountability, and she has previously spoken about pushing for ‘female rage’ in her work and avoiding sanitised depictions of women in films like The Witch, The Menu, and Furiosa.
