Regression tells the story of a father who is convicted of sexually abusing his danger, but has no recollection of the alleged crimes.

Tuesday wasn't all work and no play for Emma. She did manage to get a little bit of time away from set to celebrate her birthday with a friend.

During a break in filming, she headed for dinner with a pal at the Olivertree Deli Cafe, and onlookers said she was in a really good mood. "She seemed really happy, she had a big smile on her face," an eyewitness told E! News.
