My Take
Sophia Lillis is the young actress I am most quietly confident about. Her Beverly Marsh in It was the emotional anchor of a blockbuster horror film; she played trauma and defiance with a naturalism most adult actors never reach. What strikes me is her instinct for interiority: even in a genre premise like I Am Not Okay with This, she grounded telekinesis in the ordinary suffocation of adolescence. She does not chase glamour; she chases truth in small expressions. Born in 2002 and raised in Brooklyn, she has decades ahead of her, and I suspect her best work will be the quiet, devastating kind.
Overview
Sophia Lillis (born February 13, 2002) is an American actress. She gained prominence for her roles as Beverly Marsh in the horror films It (2017) and It: Chapter Two (2019) and as a teenager with telekinesis in the Netflix drama series I Am Not Okay with This (2020).
