My Take
Embeth Davidtz is one of those actors I never forget once I've seen her. American-born and South African-raised, she delivered an indelible turn as the terrorized maid in Schindler's List, charmed as the kind teacher in Matilda, and slipped seamlessly into Bridget Jones's Diary and prestige television. Her gift is range without grandstanding: she can do warmth and shadow alike, yet never crowds a scene. Learning she has moved into directing only deepened my respect. At 173 cm with a poised, watchful presence, she draws the eye even at the frame's edge. I wish this kind of understated craft got far louder acclaim.
