She further elaborated: "In a way, this woman, constantly all her life, has done the right thing. She's been an amazing carer, an amazing mum. She's had nothing. No help."
"Done it herself and she thinks if I just do everything right in my life, everything will be fine, and it's not. So it's literally just a tipping point. She's had enough and she turns and it's amazing how she finds the inner strength to do what she does, and the darkness of how far she'll go."
Cold Call is available to stream now on Netflix.
