Inde Navarrette’s work in Obsession is shaping up to be the biggest breakout performance of 2026. Curry Barker's film kicked off its run at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival where Focus Features was smart enough to act fast and scoop up the distribution rights. From there, buzz continued to build at Fantastic Fest 2025, the movie earned one rave review after the next at early screenings, and now the movie hits theaters nationwide with a significant amount of fanfare at its back.

Obsession currently sits at a 94% on the Tomatometer, 95% on the Popcornmeter, has an A- CinemaScore, and is already being dubbed a modern horror classic. Yet another Obsession talking point that’s gaining more and more traction? Navarrette delivers an awards-worthy performance in the film.

Michael Johnston leads Obsession as Bear, a guy with a crush on a girl who doesn’t share the same feelings. That girl is Navarrette’s Nikki. In an effort to win her over, Bear buys Nikki a novelty gift to give when he confesses his true feelings for her. Trouble is, he doesn’t have the courage to go through with it and, instead, uses the gift himself. He wishes that Nikki loves him more than anyone in the world and then snaps his One Wish Willow. Much to Bear’s surprise, the Willow works and he gets the girl of his dreams. But, it comes at a cost.

What exactly does the One Wish Willow do to Nikki? Navarrette herself broke it down on Collider Ladies Night!
