“The reason I really wanted to make the movie is because I thought it was hilarious in such a giddy and excited way, like we were telling secrets.”
For Stewart, who also wrote the film’s screenplay, the book was “a total lifeboat” — not only for the actress but for the original author who went on to become a cult writer with her viral TED Talk “The Beauty of Being A Misfit,” and inspiring the spin-off book The Misfit’s Manifesto.

“Being a woman is a really violent experience,” the Twilight star shared with AFP. “Even if you don’t have the sort of extreme experience that we depict in the film or that Lidia endured and came out of beautifully.”
As a woman herself, she didn’t feel the need to go as in-depth with her research.
It dove into Yuknavitch’s childhood and how she survived ab*se
She said, “I’m a female body that’s been walking around for 35 years. Look at the world that we live in. I don’t have to have been ab–sed by my dad to understand what it is like to be taken from, to have my voice stifled, and to not trust myself.
“It takes a lot of years [for that] to go. I think that this movie resonates with anyone who is open and bleeding, which is 50 percent of the population.”
