Rachel Weisz told ScreenCrush in April 2018 that she specifically sought out this role. After spending a career acting opposite male leads, the she wanted to tell a story about female connection and sexuality. What made this project so special for her was the ease of creating chemistry with Rachel McAdams, and how the two shot one of the best sex scenes in years without even removing their clothes. She pointed out that director Sebastián Lelio storyboarded every move of that scene. "Basically in the script he wrote, 'They make love.' And that was it. We didn't really know what it was going to be. About two weeks before we started to shoot it, he presented Rachel McAdams and myself with a storyboard, which had every gesture, like my face; everything that you see in the sex scene, it was storyboarded. None of it was our idea, it was all his idea. So we signed off on it and went, 'Okay, that sounds great,' and had time to think about it. I don't know what you do with that information, but time to process it unconsciously or something. But on the day, I guess we felt safe because we knew what was required of us. We had to hit these points, and then we could abandon ourselves to doing our jobs, which was to feel. It was very vulnerable, very emotional. I've never done a sex scene that's that full of emotion and longing and needing and release and desire. It was the culmination of many, many years of waiting. It was emotional, very emotional."
