The actress portraying Clinton,Addison Timlin, spoke about the "nuanced" take on the film, which is centered around her gap year after law school that she spentin Alaska. According toTeen Vogue, some have compared the biopic to the film "Wild," jokingly calling it "HRC in the Wild."

Timlin said that the movie is "less about" the time period in her life and "[more] about how her life from that point forward will be lived in a very specific way as to not disturb anyoneto become a very well-liked person."

She said that Clinton knew the future track of her career would depend on how well she was liked, and that women "all over the world" deal with this sort of bias.

"I think it was all intentional, but I dont think it was disingenuous," Timlin said,addingthat she believes Clinton "always tried to be liked."

"I think a lot of people feel that way about Hillary Clinton, that shes always tried to be liked and thats what people have veered away from," she said. "Its interesting, but I think its something, unfortunately, women all over the world deal with in every waythis tragic need to be liked."

Timlinsummed this up to being the, "tragic need of being liked."

"Its interesting, but I think its something, unfortunately, women all over the world deal with in every waythis tragic need to be liked," she said.

Timlin also noted her devastationwhen Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump.

"I was devastated, especially because I thought she was super fucking capable," she said. "I dont think any of us expected what happened to happenbut in that way, it kind of gives the movie another shape."
