Woodley speaks frankly about her serious size with Jennifer Dickinson, about the sisterhood of 'Big Little Lies' and today's debut of 'Adrift', "a survival story based on Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp’s 1983 experience of being caught in a hurricane and stranded at sea for 41 days, co-starring Brit actor Sam Claflin. Woodley, 26, says she was “stripped to her core” by filming, which involved journeying into open sea every day, jumping into the water to pee when the boat’s toilet broke, and forgoing dinner every day for a month to illustrate Oldham's slow starvation."

She's below deck in a boat, which is filling up with water fast; you can hear the vessel creaking and groaning ominously all around her. A wave comes out of nowhere, knocking her back down. Sputtering, gasping, crying, our injured heroine – hey, that's Shailene Woodley! – keeps trying to find an exit. She desperately climbs over, dives under and claws through the debris, in what appears to be an unbroken shot (or the well-crafted illusion of one) for an agonizingly long time. Eventually, she fights her way out of this non-metaphorical sunken place and into the sunlight – at which point the camera continues pulling further and further back, revealing that not only is this unlucky sailor alone on a wrecked ship, but the ship itself is merely a speck in a vast, empty ocean. Water, water, all around ....
