Actress Shields Herself From Obsession Reviews

Lead actress Inde Navarrette is taking a measured approach to the positive reception of the horror film "Obsession." While critical reviews praise her performance as a "scream queen in the making" and for handling a physically and emotionally taxing role, Navarrette is deliberately avoiding much of the commentary. She and her mother have chosen to limit what she sees to safeguard her mental health as her career enters a new phase.

Navarrette specifies that she is not looking at social media unless content is sent by her family or professional team. She also prefers to receive feedback directly from people in person, allowing for genuine interaction. This mindful curation of feedback means a lot to the actress, validating the immense effort she invested in her character, Nikki, a writer-director's central creation.

The actress shared that this vulnerability was a conscious choice to break from past roles. She committed to giving her all to the character and having fun during the process, aiming to showcase multifaceted aspects of being a person and a woman. The positive feedback she has seen reinforces this decision and makes her feel proud of her work.

Navarrette's role in "Obsession" involves the consequences of a wish gone awry after her friend Bear falls for her. The film, which features dark and action-packed scenes primarily centered on Nikki, was shot with some of the most intense sequences filmed early on. This initial immersion into the character's most challenging moments reportedly empowered Navarrette, making her feel capable of anything.
