My Take
What I value most about Ari Graynor is her range. From a turn on The Sopranos to Fringe, from For a Good Time, Call... to The Disaster Artist, she moves between sharp comedy and genuine drama without ever seeming to strain. Performers who color in the margins of a scene tend to age better, for my taste, than leads coasting on charisma. There is an intelligence to her work, perhaps shaped at Trinity College, that gives even her broadest comic beats a slight edge. She is the kind of actor I keep watching across projects, eager to see what odd, vivid character she chooses next.
