The 35-year-old star found purpose, fury and Channing Tatum while making her provocative debut as a director.
. The provocative jab, a working title that straddles the line between feminist reclamation and sexist objectification, is a perfect encapsulation of the darkly funny and righteously furious tone of Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut. Instead, it’s called. Nondescript, generic, broadly inoffensive. Just like the marketing departments at major film studios like it.
Of course, nothing is as it seems. Before long, the tropical escapist vibes subside and, as Frida’s sobriety returns, the film transforms into a sinister and frenetic psychological thriller. In Kravitz’s deft hands “I think prior to that shift I was just feeling a combination of anxiety, anger and confusion around power dynamics. I wrote down ‘Pussy Island’ first – just the concept of it, just those words – and that led me to this story that turned into the film.”The script mutated heavily in the years after the first outline was completed in 2017.
“Ramy Youssef gave me some great notes. Ilana Glazer. Just friends of mine that have been around over the many years of me writing this and knew the story already, which was helpful for them to understand what I was trying to make.
