LONDON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Making her new psychological period thriller "The Wonder" was a lesson in reining in her spirit and holding her tongue, British star Florence Pugh says.
Pugh plays English nurse Lib who travels to a remote Irish village in 1862 to "watch" a young fasting girl.
"For me it's a conversation and a conflict about science versus religion, something that we're dealing with now, something that...it's a tale literally as old as time," Pugh told Reuters at the movie’s London Film Festival premiere on Friday.
