Uma Thurman Returns to Stylized Action in Pretty Lethal, 23 Years After Kill Bill

In a new interview, Thurman says she enjoys fight scenes only when they read as artful movement.

Overview

  • Thurman told InStyle she does not particularly like on-screen violence and appreciates action only when it feels like an extraordinary dance performance.
  • She said she declined many action roles for nearly two decades and now judges projects by whether the violence is genuinely executed, beautiful, and motivated.
  • Pretty Lethal leans into a ballet‑fu aesthetic that fuses dance with martial arts, a creative approach that appealed to her.
  • The film features Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, and Iris Apatow, and follows a group of ballerinas facing danger after a breakdown at a remote inn.
  • The movie is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, according to recent coverage.
