“I took myself to see avatar. They said it was a ‘4D’ experience,” the actress wrote in the caption. “Cool, cool, whatever, sounds good. I was the only one in the theater, somehow.”
“Being blasted with air + rain + strobe lights + fake smells + jolting,” Woodley wrote, as she recounted the movie experience. “They didn’t say 4D meant sitting in a car wash for 3 hours. Alone.”
“Happy valentine’s day,” the actress concluded.

In January, Woodley — who was previously engaged to NFL quarterbackAaron Rodgersduring anon-off relationshipthat ended last April — toldNet-a-Porter’s digital titlePORTERthat filming the upcoming StarzseriesThree Women(based on the 2019 book about a writer who interviews three different women to gather a snapshot of what sex lives are like for American women) proved challenging during one of the “darkest” periods in her life.
“It was hard to film because I was going through the darkest, hardest time in my life; it was winter in New York, and my personal life was s—-, so it felt like a big pain bubble for eight months,” she said. “I was so grateful that at least I could go to work and cry and process my emotions through my character.”
Three Womenwas filmed between October 2021 and the following May. That February, PEOPLE reported that Woodley and Rodgers hadended their engagementjust over a year aftermaking it public. They were then spotted spending time together; PEOPLE confirmed that Aprilthat they’d broken up again.

In the interview, Woodley said thatThree Women"feels like it matters a lot — mostly, I think, because it mattered so much to me. I feel honored to be a part of it, because it genuinely gave me a North Star in a time in my life when my compass … calibration did not exist. And I think it has the potential to provide a North Star for other people out there too."
Woodley also toldNet-a-Porterthat attention on her relationship with Rodgers, 39, felt “violating.”
“It honestly never really hit me that millions of people around the world were actually watching these things and paid attention to them. Then, I dated somebody in America who was very, very famous,” theBig Little Liesstar said.
