Following the completion of the movie, the Harry Potter star revealed that she needed a period of solitude. She shared that she spent several weeks in her apartment, donning pajamas and giving herself space to recover. The intense process of making the film left her exhausted, she explained,

“I was so physically and emotionally exhausted by just the process of making the film. I just didn’t leave my apartment for a few weeks and walked around in my pajamas for a few days in a row. I just needed some time to sort of put myself back together a bit.” 

The impact of Noah extended beyond Watson’s well-being. The movie shifted her perspective on the world, instilling a profound desire to contribute and give back.
