Max is Lucy and Evan's son and the cornerstone of Lucy's sobriety and effort to clean up her life. He's sensitive, sweet, playful and full of life and the center of Lucy, Evan and Rachael's world. He is a sparkling presence in the bleak tone of the film, which makes his death a shocking, heart-wrenching loss. He becomes the innocent victim of Titus' crime, which triggers the fracturing of Lucy's mind.
Josie is a glowing symbol of innocence after Max's death. She's shy, quiet and gentle and is eventually caught in the middle of tragedy and the vengeful cross-hairs of Lucy. This role will require a quite varied emotional range.
