Jess Weixler Interview

Jess Weixler Delightfully Deconstructs the Rom-com in This Year’s Must-See Valentine’s Day Surprise

Disguised as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl of Entanglement, Jess Weixler reveals how she subverted expectation to deliver a RomCom gut-punch.

The last thing the world needs is another new romantic comedy. Boy meets girl; boy loses the girl, boy tricks girl into ignoring his horrendous flaws. Seriously, where do you go after Shaun of the Dead negates any further exploration of this painfully tired genre? Give up; it’s all been done. Jason James’ Entanglement savagely tackles the manic pixie dream girl fantasy and preaches that self-love is the essential ingredient to finding romance with another human being. If you have nothing but contempt for yourself, then there’s no point in browsing engagement rings at Jared’s. No diamond is big enough to plug that hole in your soul.
After the disintegration of his marriage, Thomas Middleditch’s Ben has fallen into seemingly unrepairable despair. Suicide is the only logical choice, but he’s even worse at committing to an execution method than he was at securing his Facebook relationship status. When his father confesses that they nearly adopted a young girl just weeks before his conception, Ben attempts to track down this sister he never had. Maybe if he had a sibling in that nightmarish household, then his life would have steered into a more positive direction. Maybe all he needed was a friend, a defender, a nurturer, a team-mate by his side. Enter Jess Weixler’s Hanna.
How you would classify Entanglement regarding genre?
Oh, interesting. I would like to say it’s not a romantic comedy because I think it’s trying to break down the romantic comedy thing, but it is … It’s somewhere between a dark comedy and a romantic comedy, but it’s also not going to comedy most of the time. Every now and then it peaks out, but it’s … What do you think it is?
It basically exploits our expectations of the romantic comedy. There are these quirky animated deer and birds a la 500 Days Of Summer and they’re cute, and it’s a representation of that early romance vibe, but then you discover this serious human sorrow behind them. Your character, Hanna, is maybe positioned initially as a manic pixie dream girl, but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that.
Yeah. I was trying to do that, in the beginning, but yeah, that’s why it’s hard to say, or why I feel like it’s not a romantic comedy…I was trying to look at romantic comedies and go, “What are they doing that’s making that dream girl thing, like the one who smokes but is funny, but she’s kind of trouble, and she’s exciting,” all those tropes that make somebody seem so charming and attractive, but not real, somebody who doesn’t feel quite real.
What was that initial attraction to the script when you were reading it? What really hit you first?
The thing that hit me first actually comes early in the movie, and then as it went on, I was like, “Ah, this could be really cool.” Without giving away too much, I suppose, I loved that he was trying to find out at what point something happened that started off this string of habits that make him unhappy, how you keep doing the same things over and over. There’s something you’re doing that’s making you unhappy and is there something that could have happened along the way that changed that.
I love that he thought, “What if I had a sister,” but it starts pretty, not in a romantic way at all, but just, what if he had a sister or a woman in his life, to have a friend growing up in what was clearly a very hard household to grow up in? Yeah, just the desire to connect to somebody early on, and what if it had been a girl? Then I love that as it goes on, I think, or I hope, it shifts from being this dream girl, charming thing that he falls in love with to it being a piece of himself that’s been missing that he’s kind of, I think, learning to accept himself as a whole person for all its sadness and all its darkness.
He’s missed being brave, maybe, in his life, and he had to create this fantasy to make having fun, maybe not having fun but being exciting, having something exciting or important to him. He’s always been, withdrawn. So, he creates this extroverted girl that is really him, a part of him that’s been missing.
Yeah. Without-
Does that give too much away? Should I be talking in a way that’s less-
I think the way we talk about it is, Hanna is, she’s a character that has a turn at some point in the film, without talking about what that turn is. I do want to discuss how you played that turn. Do you play her as one character or two characters?
