In May 2016, Casta gives the reasons for the choice of the leading actress Stone: {{Blockquote|text='Lara was perfect because she was exactly where this character is at. I had worked with her on a commercial and she had no confidence in herself whatsoever: she was like a child you want to nurse and take in your arms. At the same time, there was this incredible strength about her in front of the camera. This strange mix reminded me of many things and so I told myself that one day I would shoot a film with her.'|author=Laetitia Casta|source=''WWD''<ref name="WWD2016_05">{{cite magazine|url=http://wwd.com/eye/people/2016-cannes-film-festival-model-laetitia-casta-unveils-directorial-debut-movie-en-moi-starring-lara-stone-10435092/|title=2016 Cannes Film Festival: Model Laetitia Casta Unveils Directorial Debut|magazine=WWD|first=Joelle|last=Diderich|date=22 May 2016|accessdate=2016-05-24}}</ref>}}
