During an interview with Variety, back in January 2023, Mia Goth appeared for the promotion of the Psychological thriller Pearl. The British actor is seen playing teh titular character who is super ambitious and psychotic in nature. While talking about the character of Pearl, The Infinity Pool star spoke about the different characters she has played till now and mentioned that Pearl was one of the most difficult ones for her. She said-
“I would say Pearl. I believe Pearl has fundamentally changed me as a performer. It’s given me a whole new sense of self and a whole new level of confidence in terms of what I think I am able to do. It was a lot, but also just incredibly rewarding and such a gift to play. I really feel as though it fundamentally changed me in many ways for the better.”
She further added that the character of Pearl resonated well with the audience as where on one side people sympathized with her for not being able to pursue her dreams, they even disliked her being utterly selfish. She said-
“It’s really wild to witness. I’ve never been a part of something that’s resonated with people as much as “Pearl” and “X,” but even as you bear witness to all of this, I have a weird sense of detachment to all of it. It doesn’t feel real in many ways, and it’s bizarre but amazing. It’s so exciting and such a gift.”
Pearl is one of the finest performances by the English actor Mia Goth. With an IMDb rating of 7.0 out of 10, Pearl can be streamed on Prime Video.
