Kelly Reilly has recently appeared in the horror film, Eight For Silver, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last January 30. Unlike her fierce character in Yellowstone, her role for her latest film is much more subdued. This difference is actually what drew Reilly to the role.
The actress explained that she’s been playing – and even extremely immersed – in her “very fierce character” in Yellowstone for many years that she believes now is the right time to dip into different things. After all, she wants to keep changing up to keep her own “taste bud alive” as an actor.

Reilly plays the role of Isabelle Laurent in Eight For Silver, wherein a mysterious menace threatens a small village in rural 19th-century France. Reilly described Isabelle as a character with “constraint and silence and loneliness.” She’s also one of few words, which is exactly the opposite of how greatly outspoken Reilly’s Beth Dutton, whose complexity is intensified by her loudness and choice of words.
