DEAR ZOE WAS A CHALLENGE FOR SADIE SINK 

Dear Zoe [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1657865/] is a coming-of-age movie based
on Philip Beard’s 2004 novel of the same name. Sadie Sink plays Tess, a teenager
who unexpectedly loses her younger sister, Zoe. She now has to come to terms
with it, but tensions keep arising between her and her family, which comprises
her stepdad, mom, and sister. She seeks refuge in her biological father’s place
against the wishes of her parents. There, she not only processes her grief but
learns to navigate through the utter chaos of adolescence. 

Playing Tess was a bit of a challenge for Sadie, but it was a great learning
experience for her.

“It was a tough mindset to get into. This was a long time ago. This definitely
was a tough role and also it was very different from anything I had up until
that time,” she shared.



The movie was shot three years ago, making Sink

17 when filming began.

But despite the very demanding emotional scenes, the redhead was able to deliver
her scenes well. Since she has a younger sister in real life, she was able to
draw from her own experiences. It further elevated her performance.
