Toni Collette Stars in 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' Movies for Grownups What we love
What she says about it: I feel for people who've been alone, stuck away from loved ones, and those who are struggling financially to make ends meet. It's undeniable that we're all in this together. It's been moving to see people go out of their way to help others. I personally loved the quiet, slow time with my family. The film I was working on in Canada shut down, so I flew home and went into two weeks of isolating with my husband and kids before the official lockdown in Sydney.
