But I miss the slow melody of a character-driven story. I was like, ‘We have to make this. Let’s make it now,'” she tells Vogue. “I don’t really know why I’m making a movie or why I’m drawn to make a movie until it’s in retrospect.” In the film, Lawrence takes on the role of Lynsey, an American soldier learning how to cope with trauma upon returning to her hometown of New Orleans after “her vehicle hit an explosive” in Afghanistan, “injuring her body and brain.” The actress reveals that Lynsey’s “untenable home” and “inability to commit to one thing or another because of these internal injuries that are completely invisible but huge” is what connected her to the character, given “that specific time in my life.” Lawrence explains: “So much was going on with me at that time that I didn’t realize.

Until I was back, pregnant, married, making it. And I was just like, ‘Oh, this is a woman who is scared to commit.'” The “Don’t Look Up” star related to her character more so following a two-year gap between 2019, when “Causeway” began filming, and 2021, when production resumed post-pandemic.
