NEW YORK, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts says it was exhilarating to play a role that actually scared her a bit in the new drama, After the Hunt.
Opening in theaters on Friday, the film was directed by Luca Guadagnino and co-stars Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloe Sevigny.
It follows Alma (Roberts), a married, upper-crust university professor whose work colleague Hank (Garfield) is accused of "crossing the line" with their student Maggie (Edebiri).
The "he said-she said" nature of the incident causes shockwaves through the campus, straining professional and personal relationships.
