My Take
Beanie Feldstein has a warmth and comic generosity that makes her impossible not to root for. Booksmart is where she really announced herself. Her Molly is anxious, ambitious, and deeply loyal, and the chemistry with Kaitlyn Dever carries the whole film. She has the theater-kid energy in the best sense, which made her a natural fit for Broadway and that Funny Girl revival, even amid all the discourse around it. I admire that she plays big-hearted, slightly messy young women without ever condescending to them. She brings real emotional stakes to comedy, and that's a rarer skill than people give her credit for.
