Upon watching a film as candid and honest as Obvious Child, when sitting down to interviews the film’s star – in this case, Jenny Slate – it can become hard to differentiate between character and actor. Which, coincidentally, is something we discussed with the talented actress, when speaking to her alongside the film’s director Gillian Robespierre.

We also spoke of the strong female voice in indie comedies these days, and how vital they believe for it to be to openly discuss taboo subjects in their movies. We also spoke about fart jokes. Because that’s just what you have to do sometimes.

Obvious Child is released on August 29 and you can read our review here.
