My Take

Jeannie Berlin earns my deep respect for refusing the easy path. Daughter of the legendary Elaine May, she could have coasted on the name, but instead delivered a performance in The Heartbreak Kid that drew both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations on its own merit. That she also directs and writes signals an artist interested in the whole machine, not just the spotlight. She strikes me as a selective, quality-over-quantity talent, the kind cinephiles treasure precisely because she does not chase ubiquity. I am drawn to performers with that quiet, uncompromising integrity, and Berlin radiates it.
