Conversations with Friends is directed by Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson – who is best known for his film Room – and written by screenwriter Alice Birch, who worked with Rooney on the screenplay for Normal People.
Ahead of the premiere, Lenny told : "Conversations is really a coming-of-age story."
"Centering on Frances, who is trying to figure herself out… it’s prepared to challenge the viewer’s own sense of what is good or right in various situations."
"The relationships are messier, and there are more of them."
The director further teased: "Frances is such a particular person — sometimes glorious, sometimes deeply frustrating with a tendency to hide herself."
