Oxford native Florence explained: ‘It’s always been, kind of, number-one top priority for me to find women who are totally fascinating and totally powerful in their own way.
‘I really want to recognize the women I play, whether it’s that I recognize my mom in her, or my gran in her, or my sister in her. I want to play complex and confusing characters.’
Jojo Rabbit actress Scarlett, meanwhile, touched on being directed by Australian film executive Cate Shortland in a ‘male-dominated industry’.
The media personality shared: ‘I don’t want to candy-coat anything because it’s a challenge in a male-dominated industry to tell a woman’s story from the perspective of a female director and focus on the heart of something that is inherently female.’

The mother-of-one also stressed the importance of being able to ’empathise’ with her versatile characters.
Scarlett added: ‘I look for women who I feel I can relate to on some level, that I have empathy for. That’s a bit complicated, obviously, because you can have empathy for people in different ways, and for different reasons.
‘But if I can empathize with a character, no matter what their moral compass is, then that’s important to me.’
