My Take
I'll be honest — Joe Alwyn is one of those actors who keeps quietly impressing you before you even realize it's happening. He slipped into Ang Lee's technically demanding Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk for his very first film and held his own, which is no small thing. After that he popped up in The Favourite, Boy Erased, Mary Queen of Scots, and Harriet in quick succession — all serious prestige pictures, all different registers — and he never felt out of place in any of them. What I find genuinely interesting is the songwriter side: co-writing under a pseudonym on two of the most acclaimed folk-pop albums of the early 2020s takes real craft, and it suggests there's a lot more going on internally than the reserved public persona lets on. The Brutalist in 2024 showed he still has the taste for ambitious, challenging material. I'm curious where he goes from here.
