It’s no question these actors had big shoes to fill in order to portray their characters in a genuine way.

Pfeiffer, the real life journalist from the story, praised McAdams for her commitment to her portrayal.

“There’s a little scene where she kind of, sort of just flips her hair out of her eyes like I do and she sort of puts her fingers on her chin and my brother said, ‘you do that all the time,’” the actress told ET Canada.
