Olivia Wilde showed up at the SXSW Film Festival with a new film in which she plays a kick-ass vigilante imposing justice on abusers of women, and guess what? She’s into it.
“I think this film can be seen as an allegory for fighting the patriarchy,” she told TheWrap at our studio on Saturday about “A Vigilante,” written and directed by Sarah Daggar-Nickson. “It’s about the abuse of power. And what we’re sensing right now is we’ve had enough of that.”
The film is a kind of revenge fantasy in which Wilde as Sadie seeks out men abusing women and exacts her own justice.
