Career
In 2015 Dellal filmed About Ray a movie about a transgendered teen boy played by Elle Fanning whose decision to start hormone therapy causes conflict for his mother, played by Naomi Watts and grandmother, played by Susan Sarandon. Dellal came under controversy for an interview she gave before the films release during which she referred to the character Ray, played by Fanning, using female pronouns and referring to the character as "a girl who is presenting in a very ineffectual way as a boy."[1] The film was distributed by The Weinstein Company in September 2015.[2]
