Lauren Noll’s HONOR can barely bottle the tension as a young woman lands on a religious hot seat after she is outed
At the end of the day, the events of the film are fictional and didn’t all happen in my own life, but Laine’s fears and conflicts were my own when I was a student at BYU. That scene is just simply the truth for someone in that moment of their journey. As a performer, I did initially try to reign it in and keep it smaller for fear of too much ugliness showing, but my wonderful on set acting coach (who also served as the film’s editor) coached me into the performance that made its way into the final cut.
