Sigh. I guess we have to do this. Okay, so by now, you’ve probably heard about the interview drama from the press tour for After the Hunt! The film stars Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, and Julia Roberts in a story about sexual assault and accusations in a campus environment. (If you can believe it, this is the less controversial of the topics surrounding the movie this week!)
Anyway, ArtsLife TV attended the press junket this week and Italian journalist Federica Polidoro had a question about #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. Unfortunately for her, the deployment of this particular line of questioning was flawed at best. The journalist directed the comments towards Garfield (visibly uncomfortable) and Roberts (confused at how exactly we ended up here.) It was not a great moment in the history of the profession.
