Steele: ‘I waited for Saoirse to get older for role’

The film features an American teen forced to go into survival mode after world war breaks out during a family holiday to England. Unfortunately, the Hollywood Reporter took less than 24 hours to describe the new movie as “potentially interesting apocalyptic” that “devolves into dreary sub-Hunger Games survivalism and banal teen romance”.
Steel had watched Ronan in Atonement and believed that in a few more years she’d be perfect to play the lead part.
