Nicole Kidman's honesty towards her craft made things easy for Karyn Kusama while directing Destroyer, says the filmmaker. The crime drama features the 51-year-old actor as an undercover LAPD officer who must take out members of a gang, years after her case was blown.

In an interview with IndieWire Filmmaker Toolkit, Kusama said her collaboration with the Oscar winner was the "most intense", an experience that she last witnessed while working with Michelle Rodriquez on sports drama "Girlfight".
