My Take
Nicole Beharie strikes me as one of the most underused major talents of her generation. She anchored Sleepy Hollow, held her own in the unflinching drama Shame, and gave 42 its emotional center as Rachel Robinson, yet the industry took years to hand her something as worthy as Miss Juneteenth. What I admire is the discipline in her choices: small, character-driven films over noisy franchises, performances built on stillness rather than display. She also sings, which may explain the musical precision of her line readings. I keep expecting the prestige machine to finally catch up with her, because the work has been ready for over a decade.
