Sadie Sink The Whale Interview: Why It's the Project She’s Proudest Of

Sadie Sink and Hong Chau are both having a wildly impressive 2022. Sink delivered a show-stopping performance in Stranger Things 4, one I think should have earned her an Emmy nomination, and Chau is hot off the release of The Menu in which she delivers pitch-perfect work as Elsa, Chef Slowik’s (Ralph Fiennes) restaurant captain. Those credits alone would be enough to deem the year a success, but they’re both about to add a major Oscar contender to their 2022 filmographies, Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale.
The movie stars Brendan Fraser as Charlie, an English teacher living with severe obesity. In between teaching virtual classes, Charlie’s visited by a handful of people including Sink’s Ellie and Chau as Liz. Ellie is Charlie’s 17-year-old daughter who’s proving to be quite the handful. Her mother (Samantha Morton) thinks she’s truly evil, but Charlie’s convinced that, deep down, Ellie really is a caring person. As for Liz, she's Charlie’s friend and diligent caretaker who often vacillates between abetting Charlie’s harmful behavior and fighting to improve his situation.
With The Whale arriving in theaters on December 9th, I got the chance to chat with Sink and Chau about their experience making the movie. Check out what they said in this video interview!

Having a Hong Chau interview binge, such a powerful actor. She killed it in The Menu too.

she is so fine

Sadie sink is being honest on what performance of Hong Chau impressed her by saying the scene where she is yelling at Breden, but while Hong Chau answered with good intention. Of course, she couldn't choose what scene because all of Ellie's scenes are horrible and scary manners. Sometimes, being honest is not always a good quality. I hope Ellie aka Sadie Sink will change according to her approach of being empathetic to her character. I hope you read this comment. I know you by watching your interviews and words. You have been lying to yourself. You don't want to be famous, to get attention but who doesn't want to be famous, get attention. That's human.
