In addition to that, when the entire star cast gathered for a joint Q&A at TIFF 2022 Variety, director Darren Aronofsky also spoke highly of Sink. According to his own words, he was “blown away” owing to Sadie Sink’s remarkable performance. “To be around someone that young and in control of their craft and that prepared and professional,” Aronofsky continued further.
