My Take
Jemima Kirke fascinates me because she never seems to be performing in the conventional sense. As Jessa in Girls she radiated a careless, dangerous freedom that no one else could have made so magnetic, and it helped that she's a painter first. People who move fluidly between acting, directing, and visual art usually just see the world differently, and that shows in her choices. I love that she made her film debut as a favour to a childhood friend rather than through ambition. For me she's a genuine artist whose way of living is more compelling than any single credit on her résumé.
