Little Girl Blue stars Marion in a pivotal role as the mother in the movie is heavily inspired by the life of director Mona Achache’s own mother.
The movie revolves around a woman trying to understand why her mother committed suicide, and sees her discover a stash of thousands of letters and photographs that provide an insight into a person she doesn’t recognize.
Speaking to Deadline, Marion said she felt very close to these women because, ‘a lot of women in this world’ have experienced difficult relationships with men, as depicted in the film.
She said: ‘My mother and my grandmother and even further have had this journey through very difficult relationships with men and sexual assault. I was very touched by this quest because it’s a journey to healing.’
The mother of two was asked how far she thought the film industry has come since the early days of #MeToo, to which she explained that they have a long way to go yet.
‘We still have a long way to go! I always have in mind this woman who goes to another march, another walk with her sign saying ‘I can’t believe I’m still here dealing with this sh*t’.’
She continued: ‘I’ve been an actress for a long time; I was put in situations that I shouldn’t have been in.

‘There still are some sick men, and women sometimes, who will take advantage of the youth, who will take advantage of the passion that we have as an actor, the fact that we depend on the desire of directors, producers,’ she said.
Marion ended her conversation on a positive note and said that younger actresses’ are more alert than ever before and are told to say ‘no.’
She said: ‘To know that today those young actresses know that this is not right, that if someone asks you something that you’re not comfortable with you can say ‘No.’ I didn’t know that when I was a young actress, it was a very different time.’
