My Take
Rosamund Pike is one of those actors who spent years being criminally underrated — the cool, composed English actress who was reliably great but somehow flew under the radar — and then Gone Girl happened and everyone finally caught up. Her performance as Amy Dunne is genuinely one of the best of the 2010s: ice-cold, terrifyingly intelligent, and darkly funny in a way that made your skin crawl. She studied at Oxford, has a Laurence Olivier Award and an Emmy to her name, and can narrate an audiobook with the kind of velvet authority that makes you want to listen to her read a phone book. I've always admired how she gravitates toward morally complex women rather than safe, likable roles — that's a real artistic choice, and it consistently pays off.
