"One of my favorite movies is 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.'"
About this Quote
The subtext is calibration. Celebrities are constantly asked to prove they’re more than their headlines, more than the last role, more than the algorithm’s version of them. Picking this movie suggests Hemsworth wants to be read as someone drawn to character-driven storytelling and moral ambiguity, not just spectacle. It’s an accessible flex: not obscure enough to seem curated by a publicist, not mainstream enough to feel generic.
Context matters, too. The film’s reputation rests on authenticity and memory-as-myth, a portrait of a neighborhood where violence and affection coexist in the same cramped rooms. Saying it’s a favorite quietly aligns him with that ethos: that people are shaped by the places they come from and the mistakes they can’t edit out. Even as a simple preference, it’s a statement about what kind of seriousness he values - and what kind he wants associated with his own work.
