The Backrooms star Renate Reinsve has praised Kane Parsons, A24's youngest ever director, and says it was "exciting" to work with someone who "hadn't really watched that many movies."

"He was so impressive," Reinsve told IndieWire. "He turned 20 during the shoot. He was very sure of what he wanted, and I love that he hasn't really watched that many movies. His references are totally different, so it was very exciting to work with someone who had just these ideas [where I didn't know the references]."

Next up for Reinsve is the comedy-drama Sentimental Value, which sees her re-team with The Worst Person in the World director Joachim Trier. Her co-stars include Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning.
