The Dark Side of Motherhood in ‘Never Let Go’
Halle Berry’s latest film, ‘Never Let Go,’ takes a harrowing look at the complexities of motherhood in a post-apocalyptic world. In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Berry described her character as a darker matriarch navigating through generational trauma while striving to protect her twin sons from an omnipresent evil. Unlike her previous roles, this character’s depth challenges the traditional portrayal of a nurturing mother.
The Intricacies of Generational Trauma
The Oscar-winning actress revealed that the film resonated with her, as it explores how fears and unresolved issues can be transmitted from one generation to the next. Berry stated, “This whole idea of generational trauma also wildly interests me… it’s a subject that I thought was in need of a conversation around.” The psychological thriller navigates the fragile dynamics of parental protection, fear, and the uncertain nature of reality, making it a thought-provoking watch for audiences.
A Glimpse into Berry’s Collaboration with Angelina Jolie
Berry also provided an exciting update on her upcoming project with Angelina Jolie titled ‘Maude v Maude.’ Despite their contrasting personas, their professional relationship has blossomed into a remarkable partnership. Berry noted, “I would do anything for my kids… this is a different kind of mother”—a sentiment that rings true both for her character in ‘Never Let Go’ and as a real-life parent. The anticipation for her collaboration with Jolie adds another layer of excitement to an already captivating chapter in Berry’s illustrious career.
