My Take
Emayatzy Corinealdi is, to me, a quietly serious actress who chooses her work rather than chasing volume. Her breakthrough in Ava DuVernay's Middle of Nowhere, which earned her the Gotham Breakthrough Performer award and an Independent Spirit nomination, signaled a performer who can carry a film from the inside out. I find that kind of interior, restrained acting more compelling than showy spectacle. There's something fitting in her roots in Fort Knox, a military town, that hints at the steadiness she brings. She is the type of actress who imprints on memory in a single scene, and I think her best chapters are still ahead.
