I dunno whether to count Margaret as a 2011 or 2012 release :/ Definitely loved Paquin in it.
ReplyDeleteGod there is so much I haven't seen. Presently my favourite performances are Mark Ruffalo, Michael Caine, Fassy, Anna Paquin, Rachel Weisz, Anne Hathaway and Lizzy Caplan, Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher- all for Bachelorette.
It is a 2011 releases in the U.S but it came out here just a few months back. Paquin is prob my favourite female performance of the year. She is incredible. Good choices. Have not seen Bachelorette, but I have heard about Dunst's performance. I believe she is excellent. I'll check it out if it hits cinemas.
DeleteYes to everything Killer Joe and Beasts of the Southern Wild.
ReplyDeleteOn a re-watch I was much less enthusiastic about BEASTS, but Wallis and Henry are excellent.
DeleteI totally agree with Matthew McConaughey and Denis Lavant, great performances! Also, nice to see Garrett Hedlund there :D
ReplyDeleteYeah Hedlund was the best thing about ON THE ROAD. Most of the performances were pretty good, I thought. But he shined. Film...not so much :-p You've seen HOLY MOTORS Diana? Lavant is AMAZING. That's acting.
DeleteGreat list! Jennifer Lawrence was terrific in Hunger Games, wasn't she? I liked that performance almost as much as her role in Winter's Bone.
ReplyDeleteI really like Jennifer Lawrence. So good in Winter's Bone and in THG she has created another strong heroine we wholeheartedly support.
DeleteHey man, I know I'm a little late here, but I just wanted to say that these are great lists. All my faves are here, along with plenty I need to see. I hope it's a good awards season!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that many of these will figure in the end-of-year awards race, and a few of them are strong performances in average films, but it is rewarding to reflect on the year and pick out so many fine performances already.
