My Take
What I admire most about Charity Wakefield is her chameleon-like range. She can glide from the genteel restraint of period drama in Sense & Sensibility to the wicked, scheming Georgina Dymova in The Great without a seam showing. Raised in Royal Tunbridge Wells, she carries a natural poise that suits costume work, yet she clearly relishes playing against type. To me she is the quintessential character actor who steals scenes from the edges rather than the center, and her move into directing signals an artist hungry to control the whole frame. A connoisseur's favorite, undervalued by the mainstream.
