Cynthia Erivo spoke candidly about the importance of working with an intimacy coordinator on her new movie “Prima Facie” at a London Film Festival screen talk on Monday, saying that often “not enough credit is given” to them.

In her first film role post “Wicked,” Erivo leads “Prima Facie” as Tessa Ensler, a successful defense lawyer who finds herself at the center of a trial when she is sexually assaulted by a colleague. Based on Suzie Miller’s acclaimed stage play, the film premiered last month at Toronto Film Festival and has its U.K. debut at London Film Fest on Tuesday.
