The film deals with dementia which affects Sarsgaard’s character. The actor choked up today speaking about his own uncle who suffered from CTE and passed away during Covid. “This is a guy who was very important in my life, so I felt like it was just a magical thing being asked to play someone who had dementia — at 52 years old, my uncle had it at 48… His spirit of positivity and love and grace and forgiveness… I thought it was beautiful.
