In a little chat with Daniela Michel, the actor spoke about his work with Lonergan: "It was a real pleasure working with Kenneth. It took him three years to finish the script... he is truly talented, he’s a director I really admire, I consider his work to be truly exceptional and I am happy that this film is being shown, you are very good and selective".

In addition, Daniela Michel congratulated him the acknowledgement he received last September at the Telluride Film Festival: "I appreciate the comments on my work, the truth is I am very grateful to the people with whom I work because they are people I admire, whom I consider very valuable. I think it’s only occasionally that we have the opportunity to make gems like this".
