Caron, 46, tells PEOPLE that working with the star-studded cast was “unilaterally spectacular,” saying that every one of them brought “so much wit and feeling to this script.”
“Working with Julianne was a dream,” he said of Moore, 62. “I’ve long admired her work on screen, and she is just so assured. Sebastianbrings a mercurial, dangerous energyto his role and Justice breaks your heart in the best way. Briana is a star in the making. I’m excited for people to know her name. John Lithgow brings gravitas to every scene.”
Expanding on Smith, 27, Caron says, “Justice brings such a sympathetic, easy charm to the role of Tom. His performance is beautifully judged and I really connected to his wonderfully natural, honest style of acting.”
“Also, he’s just a great guy,” the British filmmaker adds. “As Julianne would say, ‘He’s a sweetie.’ "
