- With director Mona Fastvold’s The World to Come now playing in select theaters and arriving On Demand March 2nd, I recently got to speak with Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby about making their LGBTQ-themed period drama. Written by Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard and based upon Shepard's story of the same name, the film takes place on a farm in upstate New York in the 1850s where Abigail (Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Kirby) find themselves drawn to one another. The World to Come also stars Christopher Abbott as Kirby’s husband and Casey Affleck as Waterston’s spouse.
During the relaxed interview, Waterston and Kirby talked about what it was like shooting on film in the Romanian countryside, their reaction reading Hansen and Shepard’s script, how the film takes place in a time where people had to spend all their time just trying to survive and love was a luxury, why Kirby felt very in tune with her character, why Waterston didn’t want the shoot to end, and more.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about and the official synopsis.
Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby:
• Have they started playing the junket game?
• What was it like reading the script for the first time and what did they each love about the writing?
• How the film takes place in a time where people had to spend all their time just trying to survive and love was a luxury.
• Waterston on how the shoot reminded her you can learn a lot from the people that lived in the time of the movie.
• Kirby on how she felt very in tune with the character she played.
• What was it like working with director Mona Fastvold and shooting on film?
Here’s the official synopsis:
In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other's lives they never knew existed. Directed by Mona Fastvold and scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen, The World to Come explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection.

I can not stop thinking about the film. It's so beautiful and sad.
I bought this movie and have watched it a few times so far. I keep coming back to it because I am intrigued by their desire and tenderness for each other. Vanessa and Katherine bring the chemistry to life in Abigail and Tally and it is one of the most believable portrayals of how intense this type of connection can be between two women. At times I felt like I was an intruder spying on their intimate moments. Other times I felt intoxicated by their affection and playfulness with each other. I didn't think we needed another lesbian period piece this year...but i was so wrong!
Totally agree!
Where did you buy the movie?
@@suecorcoran1299 You can buy it on Amazon Prime Video.
I so identify with your comment. I just cannot shake this film and the feelings it bring out. An incredible deep masterpiece brilliantly excuted.
@@kathleenhavenga3447 right! it deserves so much more attention. truly a beautiful film with phenomenal actors.
This movie deeply affected me! Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby were outstanding! I felt the ache and the longing for a different world. The movie was incredible to watch...even on a 55 inch TV. Would love to see it on the big screen one day!! ♥️♥️♥️
💙 Katherine is so smart and eloquent just like Abigail. I could listen to her on a loop day and night. She nailed the voiceover which makes the film all the more beautiful.
Thanks to the interviewer for letting Katherine and Vanessa talk instead of gabbing away himself!
Katherine Waterston, her smile so cute☺️☺️
Vanessa Kirby is mesmerizing, her eyes..oh!😍😍 my gay heart is jumping.😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Katherine is so gorgeous 😍 she has the cutest smile ✨
That is why we need more stories like this for us to be reminded of the hardship of those who lived before us. For us to see many thing that we should be grateful.
I love the movie. It's poetic, beautiful and it moved me.
Such a beautiful movie!!! I can't help but to make my own analysis of this film. This sits on my mind and heart for weeks now. Unbelievable lines! Charming portrayal! Heart wrenching soundtrack! This should gather awards...this should be appreciated for its artistry! I feel blessed by Waterston's "astonishment and joy" and Kirby's "You are my city of joy". LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH!
Yes loved those two..sentences..
Astonishment and joy...you are my city of joy..
Katherine's laugh gives me life
I didn't expect this movie so much at the beginning but my heart got totally grasped by the sweet bitterness after watching. It is the best period movie so far which depicts the subtle and natural love affair between two women. Love both of the actresses.
Ahhh they are both so pretty cant wait
Saw it at the cinema. This movie will make you feel to the depths of your emotion. 💞
(as a lesbian) this movie broke me. i have never been so devastated by an ending
OMG! this broke my heart... Interview was great. I had just watched it and it captured my thoughts for days... Those years in history were brought to life.. Thank you for fabulous acting! 💕
This movie is fabulous but gut wrenching. Both actresses were mesmerizing. I must say that I prefer Vanessa Kirby as a redhead.
Vanessa's laugh is to die for
2:58 oh the naturally-cast look at Katherine and the revelation of her deep, genuine feelings . Beautiful encounter.
I just love the smile katherine wears
Ms. Sandra Bullock said it best in “Hope Floats”, “Beginnings are usually scary, endings are usually sad, but its what's in the middle that counts. So when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up, and it will.”
I agree bout the script. It was amazing!
i just finished the movie, balled at the end from my own reflections, i want to make my own review video. I thought it displayed women oppression and inequality, toxic controlling masculinity, codependency, narcissism and just that time period really well. The same relationship dynamics that many are still in today.
I saw it in the movie theater, I'm so glad I did.
you're so lucky, in my country, they won't allow movies like this to show in the movie theater :
I prefer Vanessa's accent now to her accent in the movie. I am French, it is easier for me 😅. I love British accent 😆.
(Katherine W. is so cute !)
Love this movie 🙂
Greetings from France 😉
We do hope to see it on the bigger screen possible. Thank you for the movie? THANK YOU FOR TELLING OUR STORIES §
I just watched it at Hulu. It’s a very beautiful and sad movie. I can’t imagine how life was hard back year 1850’s.
I've watched the film 5 times 😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏great job guys.
Where can I watch the movie???
On Goojar
A thing of beauty, and as such; heartbreaking and that from which life is possible.
katherine 😍🥺🤗👉👈
God this film is amazing and I love how the actresses talk about it I could listen for days! Mona did such an amazing job and the script is otherworldly! Favourite film ever!
Can’t wait to see it 😄
A lot of people still can't love who they want to love.. so not for everyone things have changed.. ! Everyday people still get thrown in jail, bullied, or killed for loving who they want to love..
Worked on it 15 years!
vanessa kirby ❤️
Vanessa Kirby ❤️ veo que te gusta mucho! Al igual que tú he visto todas las entrevistas.
It ‘s so beautiful movie that made me watched all day!!❤️
Guardato 10 volte visto e rivisto meraviglioso si vede che la. Genuinità delle scene e veramente genuina 😅
First I'm hearing of this, it's got my attention now.
It's an amazing movie.
Katherine...hermosa interpretación
I just finished watching Supernova.. and re-watching Colette.. all I can say is, Bleecker Street really fill my collection with top notch production along with Carol, Reaching for the Moon, Ammonite, The World Unseen, etc.. 🥺🙌
I just can't wait for this 😌
vanessa is so pretty...
I notice Vanessa kirby always show left side of her face, cos is more beautiful I guess , she is the role model of women love her so much 💕 from this movie we learn women is meant to give birth and can't spent her free time freely during the era
I bought this movie and I am glad I did!! I watched it a few days ago now I keep playing different scenes in my head. I wish Abigail and Tally would have ran off together. I hate Tally was killed by her husband. I got so angry and wanted to wring his neck! Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby were beautiful and amazing in this movie. Tally's voice was so sexy how she would speak to Abigail. Congrats ladies, if you decide to do another LGBTQ movie then I am all in ladies.
2:15 so adorable
Some one want oscar.
I purchased a dvd from Wolfe Video cause I don’t like to purchase things that I can’t physically touch and place in my video library and not have it held in cyberspace somewhere.
Well said
Both the actresses..awesome
What is the junket game, i didnt get it, could someone explain?
It's when someone ask you to place a word or a sentence in an answer to a question interview but it has to look natural, like you intended to say the word or sentence
❤☺️ katherine
love the insight @ 7:20
I'd have liked to ask them if having Casey Affleck as a co-star influenced their understanding and interpretation of their characters, given the charges against him.
How Vanessa lost her accents when playing Tallie ?
Because she is brilliant actress, different accents in different roles.
