In an interview withVanity Fair, director Robert Eggers shared the admiration he had for Lily-Rose Depp and her work ethic. He revealed something fascinating that makes us commend the actress even more,“Lily-Rose’s performance is her own. People think it’s CG-manipulated or sped-up wire work, but it’s all her.”

Moreover, he spoke toDeadlineabout how they had to do the scene in only a few takes because they would take an emotional and physical toll on Depp. The possession scenes were done by learning from a Japanese butoh choreographer who taught Depp a technique called“dance of utter darkness.”In another interview withVanity Fair, the actress commented on why she’s motivated to deliver more while working:

I feel like people have been ready to see me fail, in a way, since I was a kid. That has made me only want to work harder and prove people wrong. Not in a vindictive way at all, but just in a sense of, like, fuel to my fire. I do want to prove that I’m a hard worker and I’m not here for anything else but to work hard.

She made the audience wonder if what they saw was real or supernatural, and that requires next-level talent. So Lily-Rose Depp has certainly shattered all our expectations, leaving no room for any arguments, and the“nepo baby”narrative has been turned to ash.
