A provocative reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, Hedda follows enigmatic newlywed Hedda (Tessa Thompson), who is outwardly composed but hiding a simmering discontent that threatens to explode when the brilliant and charismatic Eileen Lovberg (Nina Hoss) reenters her life.

Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, Hedda is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman’s refusal to be confined. 

Union's VFX work is subtle and invisible, allowing them to sit perfectly within this epic, emotional reimagining of the classic 1891 play.

The mid-century England story was shot on location at a Grade 1 listed 18th-century country house.  The considerable amount of interior glass and mirrors necessitated significant period and filming-related clean-up.

Other VFX included hair, make-up and wardrobe fixes, tattoo and body piercing removal, and augmentation of the grounds around the estate and adjacent lake.

Hedda is now available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
