At the SXSW premiere in Austin, Texas, Nicole Kidman wowed in a stunning look from a 2008 Fendi collection. Her long hair was elegantly styled in a high ponytail, drawing attention to the black-striped dress with a layered skirt. In her upcoming film set to debut on Amazon’s Prime Video on March 27, Kidman portrays the meatloaf-making wife of Fred Vandergroot, played by Matthew Macfadyen, in the picturesque town of Holland, Michigan. The film follows Nancy’s seemingly perfect life as it unravels due to a shocking secret, with assistance from her colleague played by Gael GarcÃa Bernal.
Kidman expressed gratitude for the meticulous work of costume designer Susan Lyall in creating her character. The film’s attention to detail included researching high school yearbooks and catalogs from the era, as well as incorporating personal photos from the crew. Director Mimi Cave highlighted the tension and nostalgic vibe created by setting the film in the year 2000, adding an element of mystery and complexity for the actors to work with.
During a Q&A following the screening, Kidman praised Cave’s precise vision and the unique world she crafted for the film’s characters. The narrative promises a twisty and wild ride, starting off in one direction and leading audiences through unexpected twists and turns.
