Toronto Canada.- When Jennifer Lawrence was offered a script about a US Army engineer who returns wounded from Afghanistan, she was on sabbatical from acting and had not yet become a mother.
The Oscar-winning star of The Destiny Games, whose fame skyrocketed from the blockbuster The Hunger Games saga, had been an almost ubiquitous presence, before announcing a break from film because “everyone had had enough of my”.
But when he read the script for Causeway, then titled “Red, White, and Water,” something changed. “It was really something that came from my gut, like an emergency,” Lawrence told AFP at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF).
“I was very clear that I didn’t want to work, and then somehow (that script) landed on my desk, and I had this sense of urgency, like ‘let’s do it, let’s do this,’” he said.
This character-driven independent film, which also became the first project for Lawrence’s production company, follows military engineer Lynsey’s return to her mother’s home in New Orleans.
Lawrence chose the film in part to show “what these heroes go through to keep us safe.” “It was wonderful to be able to talk to the incredible men and women who have served (in the military), to try to get more information and background,” he said on the red carpet of the premiere.
Jennifer Lawrence begins her stage between motherhood and cinema
But Lawrence also drew in part from her own childhood for her performance in Causeway, in which Lynsey has a troubled relationship with her unreliable mother.
“I had complications in my childhood like everyone else, so I had to learn to work through that,” he said of the film.
During that break, Jennifer Lawrence also filmed and promoted the Netflix film Don’t Look Up. She has since opened her motherhood, giving birth to her son Cy earlier this year.
“Oh God, everything changes when you become a mom!” she told AFP.
During the film, Lynsey strikes up an unlikely friendship with James, played by Brian Tyree Henry, an auto mechanic who fixes her truck when it breaks down.
Although they both grew up in New Orleans, their backgrounds are very different. But he also has a family trauma buried deep in his past, which brings the two together, in a bond that soon becomes the emotional anchor of the film.
Lawrence said she identified with this woman “who has been through so much because she is suffering from an invisible injury and trying to rebuild her home and where she belongs.”
