My Take
Geraldine Viswanathan is genuinely one of the most exciting young actresses working today, and I feel like not enough people are talking about her. She burst onto the scene in Blockers with this unstoppable comic energy — holding her own against John Cena and Leslie Mann without breaking a sweat — and then immediately proved she had serious dramatic range in Hala and Bad Education. The four-season run of Miracle Workers showed she can anchor a project through wildly different settings and tones, which is a rare skill. She's got this naturalistic warmth that makes you root for her in everything, and her Indian-Australian background brings a perspective that Hollywood genuinely needs more of. She's been quietly building one of the most interesting filmographies of her generation, and I'm convinced her best work is still ahead of her.
