My Take
I'll admit I came to Maya Hawke expecting nepotism and left a genuine fan. Robin Buckley could have been a throwaway sidekick, but Hawke gave her a nervous, motor-mouthed charm that made her the emotional center of Stranger Things' later seasons. What impresses me more is her refusal to coast: she writes her own melancholy folk songs, voices animated anxiety in Inside Out 2, and picks prestige projects like Asteroid City. The Hawke-Thurman pedigree opened doors, sure, but the work keeps them open. She is quietly building one of the most interesting young careers around, and I want to see her carry a film entirely on her own terms.
