Brit is a whole new level of creativity and intelligence. She's brilliant. Her beautiful mind absolutely fascinates me. Her work is thought-provoking, raw, witty, compassionate, mind-bending, incredibly human, and unapologetic in its authenticity. I adore all of it. She makes me excited about the possibilities she presents and represents, in tandem. She is absolutely exceptional.

[@neilkrohn8352]

Every single thing you've said I agree with about Brit Marling and the world she sees and experiences. I could add more superlatives, but I will just say that her absolute originality and clarity is inspiring and I don't say that lightly.

[@bernardoelopes]

This woman, people! She's changing the world through her storytelling

[@harsheldoshi7814]

The clarity of her mind and her passion is enriching to watch. Please Hollywood, don't let her go unnoticed. She is destined to be one of the best filmmakers of our time. I said this first.

[@dramatic7368]

Brit is one of the smartest people in the game Her writing is just absolutely incredible! And The OA says it all

[@estadoagridulce]

she is so crazy talented.

[@mintmindy]

agreed!!! Somehow, when she speaks, she gives off this amazing energy. i feel like i'm in trance just hearing her talk. it's so inspiring ;)

[@markbau9910]

I love watching Brit's interviews, she says these things that just make you stop and think about your own life.

[@mikecatadjuster]

Her acting and the movie, Another Earth, was Earth-shatteringly special to me. A movie like that should have won every admiral movie-award offered for the year. A classic movie, and so good, I watched it back-to-back-to-back. It intrigued me deeply.

[@tracyperdue2756]

Michael Ferguson So, tell me. What is your theory on how the movie ends?

[@tracyperdue2756]

Michael Ferguson 💜'ed it too, btw.

[@mikecatadjuster]

It's been a few years since I've seen it to remember if I had any other ideas, but...I guess I just thought that the experience and the decision she made was so intense, that it cuased a seperation between her two selves, the Other Esrth version of her not making the decision to stay. It was so shocking.

[@emilienmare1508]

My favorite movie too, Brit is a wonder-ful person. Try Melancholia it's similar in some way, liked it.

[@drakenfist]

Another Earth totally blew my mind!. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!. Brit Marling is amazing. The title of this video should be called "How Brit Marling changed our lives".

[@jonasmartinez3687]

Such powerful wisdom and soul, she is making drastic shift in people's consciousness. Absolutely breathtaking work, thank you for the beauty!

[@ChelseyLinden]

Brit changed my life with her story telling she’s wonderful and so amazing!!!!

[@bpercival2137]

I could just listen to her talking forever, she's so freaking brilliant and talented

[@kevinoshea9125]

And beautiful

[@walterlangston9398]

conversation between people has become a lost art text messages have no facial expressions no smiles no laughter to watch britt in interviews is so refreshing she displays feelings emotions and compassion for others she possess superior intellingence and creative ability and is a unparralleled writer with all these gifts i think she is a very good down to earth person with love for the homeless the sick and the very poor

[@eugeneaniar7232]

Maaaan she have to keep on writting and acting and creating tons of this esoteric,.metaphysical movies its so refreshing to watch.

[@fradancer]

She’s an earth angel

[@mintmindy]

I can't get enough of Brit Marling's words! it hits the heart - way way way deeper than anything else.

[@stephenward7856]

Never saw any of her work but love her way with words and her interesting take on things.

[@kristagemini]

Do yourself a favor, watch her movies and shows. They change you.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Oh! My Life for An Intelligent, THINKING Person; THANK YOU, Brit Marling! That YOU THINK, REALLY think, that you use your deep-gut-intellect, God bless you and keep you safe. We need this energy in the world. Almost as much as we need oxygen. (It IS my oxygen). Lovely, lovely. Thank you.

[@aunthegeek5788]

such an imaginative, visionary writer. She'll go a long way in the industry.

[@symonalex2152]

beauty and intelligence, a rare combination

[@0ptimal]

The interviewer asked good questions.

[@racewiththefalcons1]

What's fascinating is that she mentions how swapping genders is more complicated than actual female representation in film directly after mentioning Alien, because the script for Alien did not mention genders at all, which is why every character is identified by a surname only and could therefore be cast as either male or female. I suspect Ridley Scott made that role of Ripley a woman because of the power in that character. The fact that the movie comes down to the only two women and the black guy after all the white dudes are slaughtered lends credence to that theory.

[@0ptimal]

One thing about this show, the OA, is it kinda uses some of the latest scientific research/theory's. Like you don't see many shows that utilize what we know, or suspect, the implications of recent scientific research, to build story's off of. For me these exact things are at the pinnacle of my interest/fantasy's, and I gladly welcome any show that attempts to use them.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Why is Inbound Studio asking for compliments? INAPPROPRIATE. I don't think James Lipton of Actor's Studio did this. It's a little self serving. Just do your job. However, I will give you feedback; it's fine to have prepared (canned) questions, but really gifted interviewers go with the CONTENT of what they've just been given and ask their questions from THERE/in response to the interviewee. It's the difference between live food (picked from the branch/the earth and popped in one's mouth) and dead food (something that's been sitting around for awhile): there's less LIVE energy in the dead food. Less 'Ooomph'.

[@lovenlightman]

The OA ,great series, very complicated.

[@dramatic7368]

One my favorites shows I've ever watched if not my favorite!

[@GrasImOhr]

Can I please like 5 times!!! Just binged OA Part II and now wanna go for her movies.

[@RoamHockey]

I am currently binging on OA again, she has been my favorite actress ever since I saw 'Another Earth' years ago, that movie just is so underrated..what a masterpiece considering the bidget it had..its still to this day my favorite character she ever did as Rhoda Williams..I like the OA mainly cause of her just being the main character show after show, I cannot get enough of her lol..even behind the scenes she is such a talent :)

[@aleju.7127]

Brit can totally get it.

[@AndresCruzBass]

So smart.

[@matthewmitchell4516]

Wow. Her outfit. 😍

[@teresamorriss]

Season 3 Do It!!!!!

[@ShameonYou-TV]

Her new name should be Brilliant Marling!!! She is from the future or an alien or a NEXT LEVEL HUMAN (brilliant) BEING!

[@marianaredd]

What an amazing person!

[@MissEloProduction]

did i heard chapter 7th!!! OMG

[@solonasisco2580]

Of Part 2 of The OA presumably. This interview was published in December 2017, a year after The OA part 1 and 15 months before The OA part 2.

[@zc2394]

chapter is "episode" and part is "season"

[@iisparklesiims6513]

I love her canines

[@patrickparker4576]

I guess this sort of begins to explain A Murder at the End of the World... She flipped the script and made the traditional murder victim the detective. I just wish it had more to it than just being a murder mystery with a couple of technology cameos of things that we've essentially already seen, either in the real world or in movies.

[@austintate8418]

“Marionetted puppeted doll baby” 😂

[@tempertempernow]

How many times is she going to tell this story though.

[@Scorch428]

If I could pick any woman to be the mother of my children...I think she'd be a #1 draft pick. Good stock woman.

[@peterhudson5748]

we should have more woman villains too. couldn't Hap have been a woman?

[@the_yungchubbz]

Sounds like discrimination at the end.
