Portraying the role of the sheltered 12-year-old girl, the Transformers fame, Isabela Moner describes about her connect with Benicio, “Isabela and Alejandro’s relationship is really interesting, because you basically watch it develop before your eyes.

And then, as the story progresses, you really start to see them connect.”

While tough guy Josh Brolin doesn’t leave a room to applaud this young talent, he adds “There is something about her – she’s so good. Once in a while there are actors that come along and have immediate access, who can channel emotion in their performance with ease, and she has it.”
