"It Felt So Incredibly Female": Emma Mackey and Vicky Krieps Are Absolutely Sizzling in 'Hot Milk' Image [Exclusive]

After earning an Oscar nomination for penning the screenplay for 2022's #MeToo thriller She Said, it's almost time for Rebecca Lenkiewicz to take the reins for the first time. Her directorial debut, Hot Milk, an adaptation of Deborah Levy's 2016 novel of the same name, will arrive in theaters this summer on June 27 courtesy of IFC Films after making a run at the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. Boasting a strong cast headlined by the trio of Fiona Shaw, Emma Mackey, and Vicky Krieps, the film is billed as a deep and emotional exploration of maternal connections, the elusiveness of freedom, and the desires that exist around those concepts. Before it hits the big screen, Collider can exclusively preview the film with a new image and a conversation with the first-time director exploring the complex relationships between these women that will be tested in the scorching heat of the Spanish summer.
