“I’m in England, so all theaters are shut still and they won’t be open until it’s safe to go. So the moment they are safe to go in and they are open, I will go. And I will go every day and every night. Because I think the thing I miss most is having a single screen, not having a laptop or an iPad or phone there glowing kind of seductively next to me. When you’re watching a film at home, you have to just be extra diligent about not being tempted to look at your phone, but in the cinema it’s just completely an immersive experience, and it’s hard to be immersed when you’re home and your child’s in the background. It’s a different thing.
“There’s a certain thing about going to a place whose only point is to watch a movie. That is all you do at a movie theater, unless you’re 17 and you’re going with your boyfriend. And certainly with our film, it was made to be watched communally. It was made to utilize an audience’s reaction, and so many films are that way. And I think I miss other people, I even miss their popcorn rustling and their kind of whispering. I just miss other people’s reactions. ’Cause that’s what it’s about. You’re not really supposed to watch films on your own.”
