Good One Interview: Lily Collias, James Le Gros, Danny McCarthy & Director India Donaldson
2In Good One, 17-year-old Sam, played by Lily Collias (Palm Trees and Power Lines) in her first leading role, sets out on a three-day backpacking trip through the Catskills with her dad, Chris (James Le Gros), and his longtime best friend, Matt (Danny McCarthy). What’s meant to be a special getaway and time to connect with her father turns into a strained trek as the two friends fall back into brotherly spats, airing out old grievances. Ever the peacekeeper, Sam makes vain attempts to temper the two egos, but when lines are crossed, her patience wears thin, and the burden of being the “good one” begins to slip away.
In this interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Donaldson and the cast stopped by our interview studio, sponsored by Film.io, to talk about the heavy material of Donaldson's first-ever feature, and the honesty portrayed in the film. They talk about challenging scenes, particularly in that third act, and what it was like delivering pages of dialogue and serving up a Sundance-worthy performance all while on location in the wilderness.
