Rebecca Hall Interview: Resurrection
Rebecca Hall stars as Margaret in Resurrection, a woman whose life is upended when a figure from her past reemerges and shakes her to her core. That figure, David, is played by Tim Roth in a menacing role opposite Hall. Playing Margaret with a fierce intensity, Resurrection tracks her as her life with her daughter slowly starts to unravel.
