About this episode
Kevin Jacobsen and guest Amy Thomasson discuss Glenn Close's performance in the film adaptation of 'The Great Gilly Hopkins'.
It's time to explore the World According to Glenn . I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance, and assessing the project itself. This week, InSession Film writer and podcaster Amy Thomasson returns to discuss Glenn's performance in the children's book adaptation The Great Gilly Hopkins! We talk about how the film adapts Katherine Paterson's novel, the brattiness of its main character, how Glenn and her costars like Sophie Nélisse and Kathy Bates elevate the material, and so much more!
