My Take
Jessica Barden's Alyssa in The End of the F***ing World is one of those performances I still think about years later, all bravado on the surface with loneliness leaking through every glance. That is hard acting disguised as easy acting. What I like about Barden is her texture: she grew up in Northallerton, far from the polished London pipeline, and it shows in the unvarnished honesty she brings to ordinary, prickly characters. Her British Independent Film Award nomination for Scarborough confirmed the breakout was no fluke. She keeps picking awkward, uncomfortable roles when she could chase prettier ones, and that instinct tells me she is in it for the craft.
