I’ve updated the gallery with screen captures, stills, posters and artwork from Tessa’s role as Hedda Gabler in Hedda. The movie is beautifully shot, and Tessa is so magnetic and commanding as the titular character. It’s a shame her performance didn’t receive more accolades, but I feel it shows how capable she is of being the lead, and will hopefully open up many more opportunites for her to do this more often.
If you’re still yet to watch, Hedda is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
A provocative reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, Hedda follows enigmatic newlywed Hedda (Tessa Thompson), who is outwardly composed but hiding a simmering discontent that threatens to explode when the brilliant and charismatic Eileen Lovberg (Nina Hoss) reenters her life. Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, Hedda is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman’s refusal to be confined.
