I don’t know what she was channelling in that moment but it was one of the most exciting moments I’ve ever experienced in a rehearsal room.” Frecknall said Buckley was “so live all of the time, like she has one less layer of skin than anyone else”.
Ben Whishaw, who starred alongside Buckley in Fargo and Women Talking, said watching her work on set was fascinating. “It was like observing an animal in its natural habitat: obeying some natural instinct she barely understood, vrey gorgeous, but also, if something got in her way, she may bite,” he said.

Buckley and her husband,a mental health worker,live in Norfolk and had their first child in late 2023,after playing Agnes,which gave her a “deep need” to become a mother.
