My Take

Natascha McElhone is, to my mind, one of cinema's great quiet weapons. Filmmakers keep casting her the same way: as the face of a mystery the protagonist cannot quite solve. In The Truman Show and Solaris she plays women who are more idea than person, and she makes that nearly impossible job look effortless. I admire that she built a roughly thirty-year career on stage-trained craft rather than tabloid noise. The autobiographer credit in her file does not surprise me either; she has always seemed like an actor whose inner life exceeds her roles. There is an intelligence behind her eyes that the camera trusts instinctively, and so do I.
