Lily Gladstone’s performance in KOTFM is still my favorite of the year.
Mollie may have easily come across as underdeveloped but Lily managues to imbue her with so much inner life and warmth, that with just a glance, she’s able to convey what others need pages of dialogue for.
There has been a lot of discussion about her screentime (and I would’ve loved to see more of Mollie in the film) but her presence looms so largely over it that she is felt throughout every second, every frame - even in moments when she’s not on screen.
A monumental performance.
