‘Black Bear’: Sarah Gadon & Christopher Abbott Talk Working With Aubrey Plaza, Balancing Tension, Filmmaking & More [Interview]
Premiering back at Sundance 2020, “Black Bear” might not have made waves equal in size to some (hello “Minari” and “Palm Springs”), but it certainly caused a stir among critics. Ours called the dark meta-dramedy about filmmaking, “madly hysterical and intoxicating.” While Aubrey Plaza leads the narrative in director Lawrence Michael Levine’s film about a would-be filmmaker looking for inspiration and scouting a scenic lakeside home for locations, Sarah Gadon and Christopher Abbott play the couple and homeowners who entertain her at their lake house in the Adirondack Mountains.
