Dakota Johnson is, by her own account, six minutes late. Logging on to a recent video call, she explained that she had gone looking online for a weighted blanket for anxiety and had no idea there were so many different kinds.
"I just need this one thing, and then you're inundated with options," she said, "and then that's like the story of my life. I just end up putting things in a basket and then never buying them."
Johnson has good reason to be stressed out, though you wouldn't know it from her placid, playful demeanor, soothing, honeyed voice and varied, low-key enthusiasms. Having launched to stardom as an actor with the "Fifty Shades" trilogy and currently garnering acclaim in the awards-season contender "The Lost Daughter," Johnson also stars in two films at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, which begins Thursday in a virtual format for the second consecutive year. The projects also happen to mark the first finished films produced through her company, TeaTime Pictures.
