My Take
Eliza Scanlen is one of the most quietly fearless young actors working today, and I keep an eye on everything she does. Born in Sydney in 1999, she leapt from an Australian soap to the harrowing emotional terrain of Sharp Objects, then deepened that promise in Babyteeth. What impresses me is her instinct for interiority; she plays damage and tenderness without ever overplaying. That she has begun directing tells me she wants authorship, not just roles. I suspect her best work is still ahead, and I'd happily bet on her becoming a defining performer of her generation.
