My Take
Raffey Cassidy is one of those actors who showed up in a big-budget Disney movie at thirteen and somehow managed to avoid the usual child-star trajectory entirely — instead pivoting toward the kind of unsettling, art-house work most young performers wouldn't dare touch. Her turn in Tomorrowland opposite George Clooney was charming enough, but it was Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer that made me sit up straight — she brought a genuinely eerie stillness to that film that felt far older than her years. Then Vox Lux came along and she played two versions of Natalie Portman's character, which is exactly the kind of bold, weird choice I respect. Born in Manchester in 2001, she's barely in her twenties and already has a filmography most actors spend a whole career trying to build. Quietly one to watch.
