She praised the filmmaker on Wednesday for creating strong female characters.
“He’s the most phenomenal listener,” Steinfeld said, via Elle USA’s Clover Hope. “He has an innate ability to write these female characters in a way that does not shrink them in the slightest.”•

“There was no part of this movie that Ryan was shying away from,” Steinfeld said. “It’s sexy, and it lures you in, and it kicks you out, and it brings you back. You see different versions of what it might feel like, sound like, look like, to be an empowered woman, be in complete ownership of who you are and your power and sensuality.”Steinfeld played Mary, a white-passing woman in 1930s Mississippi with hidden trauma and a painful past. The movie was recognized at the 68th Grammy Awards on Saturday, earning five nominations.
