Julia Fox has been cast in Perfect, an LGBTQIA+ romantic drama.
According to Variety, the actress, musician, author and viral social media personality will star alongside Ashley Moore, best known for her performance as Riley in Prime Video’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, and newcomer Micaela Wittman.
Directed by Millicent Hailes in her feature film debut, Perfect is set “at a scenic-but-rundown lakeside resort in the California mountains in a time where climate change has contaminated the water supply”.
Fox will play a wealthy pregnant woman who is “living out an escapist fantasy as she falls in love with a younger woman”, played by Moore.
The synopsis continues: “Their sudden relationship is complicated by an upcoming birth, turbulent social events and clashing values about the world’s uncertain future.”
Wittman’s character is a “town local” who guides Moore’s character “through the obstacles that arise during her fractured romantic experience with Fox’s character.”
In 2019, Fox rose to fame with her critically-acclaimed performance in the crime thriller Uncut Gems, for which she received a nomination for Breakthrough Actor at the Gotham Awards.
Last year, she released her memoir, Down the Drain, as well as her debut single of the same name.
Fox will next appear alongside Lucy Liu in Steven Soderbergh’s psychological thriller Presence, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival to overwhelming praise. It currently boasts a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Additional upcoming roles include the crime drama Night Always Comes and the dark comedy The Trainer. Release dates for both are currently TBA.
Fox, who came out as a lesbian in July, recently opened up to GAY TIMES about her memoir, becoming a mother and her duty ‘as a cis woman to empower and uplift trans invoices’.
In her cover story, she said it’s crucial for her to “get people to understand that, trans, non-binary or queer, at the end of the day, we are all human”.
“It’s a cause that’s very near and dear to my heart,” she said, “my best friend in the world [Shazam] is a trans woman and I was by her side during the transition.”
