Like McAvoy, he devotes to the task, taking a nervy electricity to the character that worries he may certainly never match up to Paddy---- but possesses strength where it counts.Mackenzie Davis as Louise DaltonLouise Dalton (Mackenzie Davis) in 'Talk No Wickedness', directed by James Watkins.Louise could be the absolute most complex personality in the movie. A defensive mom, an anxious better half but also a fully-rounded individual being actually with her personal drives as well as keys.

Alix West Lefler as Ben and Louise's child Agnes is actually good in her much smaller task, given that among Watkins' changes from the initial is actually to provide the loved ones' little ones some even more company. Together with Dan Hough, that creates a solid debut as Ant, Paddy and Ciara's child, the individual that keys Agnes as well as the others in to Paddy's dark side, all without pointing out a phrase.
