My Take
Pollyanna McIntosh is exactly the kind of performer I gravitate toward, someone who turned a genre niche into a real body of work. Her run through Exam, The Woman, Let Us Prey and Hap and Leonard shows a fearlessness most actors avoid, and then she went and wrote, directed and starred in Darlin', which to me is the move of a genuine filmmaker, not just a hired face. A Scot from Edinburgh standing 180 centimeters, she has a striking, commanding presence on screen. The file calling her American is wrong; she is unmistakably Scottish, and that grounded toughness is what makes her so watchable.
