The
"Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" actress plays young American
nun, Sister Cecilia, who enrols in a convent in rural Italy.
While she struggles to understand what seems off about the
establishment, she suddenly finds herself pregnant.
"I saw this movie in my head and I really wanted to make it for
a really, really long time and I think that I trusted and
believed in myself to surround myself with the right team that
would help me learn how to do the job to the best of my
ability," Sweeney told Reuters.
"I had a voice and I was a part of all the creative decisions
and the process and the business and I loved it so much," she
added of producing the movie.
The 26-year-old said she transformed into character as soon as
she put on her costume.
"Whenever I put Cecilia's habit on or her outfits, I always felt
like I walked a little different, held myself a little
different, my shoulders are back, my hands are held
differently," she said.
Sweeney is in nearly every frame of the film and endures a lot,
from being covered in blood and getting slapped to being
submerged in a bath by a vengeful nun.
"It was all so fun to me ... I truly felt like I was (in) my own
playground playing and getting to dream up this crazy world and
there were no limits or boundaries. It was a blast," she said,
adding she was keen to produce more films.
"I hope in the next five years I get to continue to find
characters and stories that challenge me in new ways."
