Margot Robbie Focuses on Audience, Not Critics

Margot Robbie emphasized that her primary consideration when creating films is the audience's emotional response, not the views of critics. During a recent interview, she shared that her focus on set is always on the viewer's feelings, stating, "What's an audience going to feel right now?"

Robbie finds Emerald Fennell's directing style particularly appealing because it prioritizes an emotional experience for the audience. She appreciates how Fennell is willing to set aside innovative ideas if they don't serve the audience's engagement.

This audience-centric approach extends to Robbie's involvement with Fennell's directorial projects, including "Wuthering Heights." The film, despite mixed reviews, generated significant audience discussion, which Robbie views as a success.

Fellow actor Jennifer Lawrence has also spoken about the anxiety surrounding movie releases, detailing her fear of negative audience reception despite her own strong feelings about her work. She noted how her husband found her anxiety confusing, as he believed the movie's quality should be sufficient regardless of audience reception.
