I don’t feel the need to contribute. I think it’s sufficiently well nourished,” Wilde said during a press conference at the festival, shutting down all personal questions. But the pair, who ended their two-year relationship in November 2022, still had plenty to say about Wilde’s second feature as director (she also has a supporting role in the…
