Summary
Kristen Stewart lit a joint mid-interview in Los Angeles after a discussion of female friendship in “The Wrong Girls” grew, in her words, “too serious,” then kept smoking through the rest of the conversation.
Friday’s theatrical release is a lo-fi stoner comedy starring Stewart, 36, and Alia Shawkat, 37, as best friends pulled into a drug-fueled misadventure involving a Danish pharmaceutical company, the U.S. government and telepathic cats.
Dylan Meyer, 38 — the film’s writer-director and Stewart’s wife — said weed comedies remain hard to sell internationally because cannabis is still illegal in many places despite its casual acceptance in California.
The film marks Meyer’s feature directing debut and was produced through Nevermind Pictures, with Stewart framing its central friendship as a “coming-of-age story for 36-year-old women” that resists conventional ideas of adulthood.
