My Take
Catherine Keener is the kind of performer I value most: the indelible supporting player who quietly outclasses the leads. The Miami native built her reputation on prickly, melancholic, deeply human women in independent cinema, and her 2005 sweep of critics' awards plus two Oscar nominations confirmed what film lovers already knew. She doesn't trade in publicity; she trades in performances. That she remains in demand well past sixty, voice work included, tells me directors trust her completely. For my money, a great character actor ages into something more valuable, not less, and Keener is the proof.
