‘Palm Springs’ cast member Cristin Milioti played Sarah
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Palm springs Stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti (who play Nyles and Sarah, respectively) discussed their character arcs.

Especially for female characters in movies, the How i met your mother alum found her Palm springs role to be extra intriguing.
“Certainly, as a woman to be able to play a human being, the full spectrum of a human being,” Milioti told Vanity Fair. “Sarah is going through a lot, and a lot of what’s going on with her isn’t necessarily ‘desirable’.” Its complexity is what makes the character so compelling and complete.

The Hulu movie portrayed two flawed characters.

Samberg told the publication more about that revelation in Palm springs. In fact, it wasn’t even in the original script for the movie:

And understanding, now that I really had something to worry about, I had a massive regret, which I would say is something that is acceptable in a movie about time loops. Not necessarily in real life. It is a difficult line to walk, but I feel that it helped our cause a lot.

Milioti had another version Palm springs – that the film “was an existential comedy”. Playing characters with deep problems, who are forced to face these problems head on, day after day, made it even more shocking.
“These two people also have to accept their own things, and they cannot continue running away from these things that they do not want to sit on,” Milioti explained.
