The Cast and Director of A24’s Undertone Break Down the Film | Exclusive Interview
The cast and creatives behind A24's most anticipated film of the year speak candidly — about the silences between scenes, the weight of the story, and what it means to make something that lingers.
Undertone is a psychological drama that explores the hidden emotions and tensions that exist beneath everyday conversations and relationships. The film examines how what people say—and what they leave unsaid—can shape personal connections, misunderstandings, and emotional conflict.
Starring Adam DiMarco, Nina Kiri, and Ian Tuason, Undertone follows characters navigating complicated personal dynamics where subtle cues, silence, and subtext reveal deeper truths.
Known for championing distinctive storytelling, A24 once again delivers a film that focuses on character-driven drama and emotional nuance. Undertone invites audiences to pay attention to the quiet moments—those subtle “undertones” that reveal what people are really feeling beneath the surface. Undertone comes to theaters March 13th.
What lives beneath the surface of a film?
Some films announce themselves. Undertones arrives differently — as a quiet insistence, a story that settles into your bones before you've fully registered it. In conversations with the film's cast and creative team, Cup of Soul's Kathia Woods goes beyond the trailer to find the human machinery behind the art.
We weren't telling a story about what people say. We were telling a story about everything they can't bring themselves to say.
