Quotes from Rachel
“She’s a really fun character because she’s quite different from a lot of women, at that time. She’s really her own boss. She’s a real free spirit. She’s a woman of the night and of the underworld, so she’s very acrobatic and she’s traveled, all over the world. So, there’s lots to play with there.”
-On her character Irene Adler (SDCC Interview)
We [Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes] are very competitive with one another, we’re trying to outsmart each other all the time, and yet trying to have this odd, normal relationship, which is nearly impossible. It was fun.
-On the relationship between Irene Adler & Sherlock Holmes (Examiner)
“I didn’t realize how big it really was until I stepped on the sets and they were just massive. And it’s in true Guy Ritchie fashion too, it’s lots of fighting and explosions.”
-On the movie set (Collider)
Quotes from Cast & Crew
“Rachel struck me as the ideal Irene. She portrays her with this fantastic benign facade under which is the serpent of the most nefarious nature. She’s not to be trusted at all. Even when she’s got a blade to your throat, she smiles. Her sweetness is a front she uses to be as efficient in a man’s world as she is.”
-Guy Ricie,director (Official Press Kit)
“She cares about the craft, not the parties or the fancy clothes.”
-Joe Silver, producer (Vogue)
Critical Reception
“Ms. McAdams, in any case, is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. She offers a little something for the ladies — who, according to airtight Hollywood corporate logic, are more likely to see a movie like this one if there’s a feisty woman in it — and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls.”
-A.O. Scott (New York Times)
