She added: “It was just me and a camera and a backpack. I was like, ‘Is this going to be so boring?’”
The star said that she was also impacted by the “beautiful” book that the movie was based on “because it spoke to me so deeply about how we as women have to save ourselves.”

Witherspoon earned an Oscar nod for her performance and has since then taken a handful of lighter roles before returning to drama for “Big Little Lies,” “Little Fires Everywhere” and “The Morning Show.”
