make the cut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the dinner party scene, where you flash back to the first night arrival dinner, there\u2019s a small bit \u2013 a scene I really, really like \u2013 between Jo and her daughter Amara,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJo and Amara sit down on a wall and have a small conversation. I really love that scene because it was a mother and daughter bonding scene before you go back to the attack and [see] Amara desperate to get to her mum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when it came to the edit, it was just felt that we had spent long enough on the night before at that particular point that to add a third section, which was Jo and Amara \u2013 it was just a bit too long away [from the attack].
