James McAvoy has compared Inde Navarrette's performance in the psychological horror film Obsession with the acting challenge he faced in M. Night Shyamalan's 2016 thriller Split. In a new interview, the Scottish actor discussed Navarrette's portrayal of Nikki and the unsettling emotional shifts that help drive the film's story.
McAvoy highlighted Navarrette's 'ability to pivot ... from moment to moment', explaining that this was also part of what audiences appreciated about his performance in Split. He also joked about comparing himself with a newer actor before adding that Navarrette's psychological shifts were disturbing in their own right.
