My Take
Lily James interests me because her range hides in plain sight. The same actress who embodied storybook grace in Cinderella and period poise in Downton Abbey slipped convincingly into the getaway-car world of Baby Driver and belted her way through Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. I think people mistake her warmth for safeness; to me it is a precision instrument, the thing that lets her play wildly different women without losing the audience's trust. Now that she is producing as well, I sense an ambition to steer her own material. She strikes me as a star still several surprises away from her peak.
