My Take
Kathryn Hahn is the kind of performer I find myself tracking from film to film, because she makes everything around her better. For years she was Hollywood's secret weapon — the supporting player in Step Brothers or Anchorman who walked off with scenes the leads were supposed to own. What I admire is her range: trained at Northwestern, equally at home in broad comedy, theater, voice work, and raw dramatic material. There is a fearlessness in how she plays messy, complicated women without sanding off their edges. The industry took ages to hand her center stage; she spent that time becoming impossible to ignore. That patience reads as mastery to me.
