What This Means For Bring Her Back
Laura Has Nefarious Plans
TheBring Her Backtrailerlooked terrifying, hinting at the horrors to come in Hawkins' suspicious foster home. Thetrailer made ample use of images related to water, regularly cutting into Laura’s backyard swimming pool. It also included an image of one of the children, Oliver, taking a bath with assistance from Laura. The bath in the most recent image appears to be the same as in the trailer, though this time, Oliver is not in the frame.
Whatever the context may be for thisBring Her Backimage, it is clear thatsomething is making Laura exhausted. This may be related to whatever ritual she is putting her foster children through, as past footage suggests that it might be something intense. Perhaps her tired expression could also be some indicator of regret for committing the film’s more nefarious acts, although there is nothing that directly clarifies the character’s internal state.
Our Take On The Bring Her Back Image
This Movie Lives And Dies By Sally Hawkins
Bring Her Back’ssuccess is really going to hinge on Hawkins. The image further proves that the character will have to exhibit a wide range of emotions, from distress, to love, to exhaustion and more. She is surrounded by some promising child performers, but as the main adult lead, she will really have to deliver. Both the early trailers and this image suggest a strong, dynamic performance from Hawkins, building the anticipation forBring Her Back.
