Quotes "My mother and I talked for a while about her playing an older me. And then she decided, "Fuck it - why not?" Director Koltai said he saw 130 different actors for the role that would eventually go to Gummer. At the audition, Koltai asked Gummer to do one particularly difficult scene two different ways. "She was strong and beautiful," Koltai said. "I said, 'Jesus Christ, I love her so much. She's so similar with Meryl Streep!' And they go 'That's her daughter!' I didn't know." Reviews Gummer's luminous, trembling Lila anchors the film's implicit critique of stiff, upper-class propriety. Even if you don’t know that Gummer is the daughter of Meryl Streep, who plays the older Lila, the resemblance hits you instantly. But Gummer proves her talent is her own in a star-is-born performance that signals an exceptional career ahead. Related Links | ||||||
