My Take
What draws me to Romola Garai is that she refused to stay a pretty face in costume dramas. Born in Hong Kong and steeped in British period cinema, she could have coasted on her looks, yet she pushed into theatre and then behind the camera as a director and screenwriter. That hunger to control the story, not just appear in it, signals a real artist rather than a star. I find her career a quiet rebuke to anyone who underestimates so-called period actresses. She strikes me as the kind of intelligent, sturdy performer whose work ages well precisely because she was never chasing trends.
