‘We’re All Going to Die, and I Think About It a Lot’


His Three Daughters star Elizabeth Olsen on why she keeps doing movies about grief and dying and why she’s decided, “Marvel, done.”

As Christina, the youngest of a trio of sisters, Olsen spends the film playing mediator between Natasha Lyonne ’s depressed stoner, Rachel, and Carrie Coon ’s domineering control freak, Katie. At Vulture Fest, we talked about the times she appeared in her sisters’ projects, her “terrible” early days in theater, her chaotic first movie roles, the moment she started really choosing her films, the 50 directors she wants to work with next, and, of course, the certainty of death. It’s just nice talking about it now because I have been able to speak with more people who found the film in different ways: friends of mine who said, “Why didn’t you warn me?” And you know, there’s a part of me that thinks very practically about our collective experience having to deal with mortality and hospice.
