Part 4/5:
When asked about his feelings upon first viewing the finished film, Redmayne admitted to a critical mindset. He shared that, like many actors, the initial viewing was fraught with self-critique, focusing on perceived errors rather than the overall performance. To balance this tendency, he developed a strategy of watching it twice—first to observe his own work then to engage more fully with the film as a whole. Highlighting the talent surrounding him, he expressed admiration for his co-stars, particularly calling out Alicia Vikander's formidable performance.
