Your character,

Cat Chambers,

is always up to all

sorts of fun—we

trust you’re having

a good time too?

Cat can do

everything I wish

I could do—she’s

a surfer, she

skateboards, she

sleeps with everybody

unapologetically.

I was like, “Is this my

alter ego?”

Q&A

And is that you

doing all

those stunts?

I’m pretty good

at the leaping,

running and fight

sequences, and

I love the Jet Skis,

but I have an

extraordinary

stunt double.

What does your

family think

of the show?

Even the little

ones are watching

it! Especially

my 6-year-old

daughter Violet.

It’s good for her

to see girls doing

crazy, fun things.

MOVIE| After the Wedding

DRAMAJulianne Moore and Michelle

Williams make a fascinating pair of

frenemies in an overheated but com-

pelling melodrama. Moore’s large-

scale performance would have

trouble squeezing into a big-box

store, while Williams’s is as cool,

straight and compact as an ice-cube

tray. And yet, somehow, these two

excellent actresses come out even.

MOVIE| Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Over-the-top thrills—and plenty of vrooming tips

ACTIONIf seasoned action stars Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham have

learned one thing from making all those Fast & Furious movies, it’s to leave no butt

unkicked. In this spinoff, Hobbs (Johnson) and Shaw (Statham) team up to save the world

from a stolen biomedical weapon. Trouble is, the dudes don’t like each other—cue the

alpha-male banter and laughs. The slick, stylish action can become predictable, but the film

smartly relies on Fast touchstones like exotic locations, fast cars and family. It’s a fun ride,

anchored by scene-stealing performances from conflicted villain Brixton (Idris Elba) and

sly MI6 agent Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), and a few unexpected star cameos. (Aug. 2, PG-13)

MOVIE | The Nightingale

DRAMAClare (Aisling Franciosi), an Irish convict

in 1820s Australia, sets off through the forest on a

mission of revenge: Crazed with grief. she wants

to punish the lieutenant (Sam Claflin) who bru-

tally ruined her life. The Nightingale is directed

by Jennifer Kent, best known for the 2014 horror

classic The Babadook. This is just as ghostly:

Moving secretly among the trees, Clare herself is

a kind of phantom. (In limited release Aug. 2, R)
