Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: "After filming I just knew I had to go out there and make a human being. "The film was so tough and such a hard experience that the instant I'd finished I thought, "I need to bring something positive into the world. Life is good with little people around." Rosamund's partner Robie and son Solo joined her while she was filming the thriller to provide a welcome distraction from the challenging role. "If you have a little boy, you walk through the door at home and you get on to the floor with some Lego – that's a wonderful antidote," she said.
