My Take
Haley Lu Richardson is one of the young actors I track most closely. Her dance background shows in everything she does—emotion arrives in her body before it reaches her face, which makes even quiet scenes feel kinetic. She was the empathetic anchor of Split, quietly devastating in her indie work, and her widely praised television turn proved she can play comic awkwardness and genuine longing in the same breath. The fact that she also writes poetry tells me her instincts come from somewhere literate and interior. I suspect her defining roles are still ahead of her, and I want credit for having said so this early.
