Julia Roberts, who is known for her role in Pretty Woman, has finally addressed the ambiguity that surrounds her upcoming project After The Hunt.

After it premiered at New York Film Festival, Julia admitted that there is an underlying theme of the movie.

While the psychological thriller was being called a “# MeToo story,” the Eat, Pray, Love actress pointed out a “song that plays in this film seven times” which is about “forgiveness.”

According to the Hollywood A-list star, the track exactly defines how the director Luca asked the cast to “articulate in the characters [they] were portraying.”

She believes that the filmmaker felt that the story written by Nora was based on “love and forgiveness and trying to understand who we really are deep inside of ourselves.”

Contrary to the popular belief, Julia and star ensemble are open to conversations on the plot of the motion picture, accepting the ambiguity of the storyline.

However, the critics presented their views as David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter noted that the movie raises “interesting questions” while avoiding direct answers to them.

While there are “exciting” aspects of the character played by Julia, he believes that the audience “deserve[s] more substantial compensation” towards the end.

The new film stars Julia Roberts as Alma, a college professor, who is presented with a difficult situation after one of her colleagues, played by Andrew Garfield, is accused of sexual harassment by a student.
