Belén Cuesta

Belén Cuesta is the kind of actor whose range I genuinely admire. She broke through as Magüi in the comedy Paquita Salas, then turned around and won the 2020 Goya Award for Best Actress for the wartime drama The Endless Trench, with a Premio Feroz already on the shelf. Earning a comedy fanbase and then claiming Spain's top dramatic prize is a difficult, telling move, it means the instrument is real, not just charming. Coming out of Seville with a distinct presence all her own, she strikes me as a performer still climbing, and I'll happily keep following wherever her work goes next.
