Elisabeth Moss gets honest about 'The Handmaid's Tale' finale

The Handmaid’s Tale has been ended. Elisabeth Moss, who starred and directed the finale, has a few thoughts on it.

In an interview with Gold Derby, she said, “As an actor at the end, and as a director as well because they're so intertwined, it was so meta.”

The Mad Men actress continued, “I hadn't been back to the Waterford house in however many years it has been since June had been there. But I know how that felt, and I was able to then carry it into the scene.”

“There [were] a lot of amazing memories, and there [were] also a lot of complicated memories of being very cold and it being very late at night and things like that — not quite as complicated as June's memories," she said.

The 42-year-old continued, "I didn't have to think too much about how June would feel because I felt all of the things."

"There had been so much that had happened in that room, and I was so happy to be back in a better place, and in a place where I was ready to bring this story to a close, at the same time that June is starting to tell it."

Also, Elisabeth directed the finale as well as the penultimate episode of The Handmaid's Tale.
