Speaking at the movie's Toronto International Film Festival premiere, Barrymore praised the 22-year-old's performance in her directorial debut.
"It was the ideal situation where you hope that you'll fall in love with your muse and your hero and I literally could burst into tears about how much I did fall in love with her," she explained.
Page was equally as enthusiastic about working with the actress on the comedy-drama, saying: "Unbelievable, mind-blowing. Drew's amazing, she's incredibly grounded, she treats everyone the same. She's so compassionate, a luminous quality like no other person [and she has] an energy on set where she just constantly gives."
Whip It, about a small town misfit who joins a roller derby team, co-stars Barrymore, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Alia Shawkat.
