[@megamoviez]

She is becoming a scream queen and no one is talking about it. She was in Get Out, The Perfection, and now Megan. Three great horror movies.

[@dariuschisholm7317]

What's the perfection never heard of that

[@nabeelmirza6060]

The perfection is so underrated.

[@BryanCostner]

She needs to be in more horror movies in order to get more recognition. I've saw her IMDB and it's crazy that an actress like her who's had a decade of career only appeared in 4 movies. I get that she was busy doing Girls at that time, still it's pretty crazy. I haven't watch Girls so I can't comment on that but I do hope she gets to do more movies

[@megamoviez]

Never knew she's the daughter of Brian Williams. One of my favorite reporters.

[@kellymulderino7156]

nah dont like her. she always has thus dumb grin on her face when shes acting

[@nox5870]

Her performance in Get Out is super underrated! She deserved an Oscar Nomination for portraying such an evil and vile character. It's hard not to see that character whenever I watch her interviews that shows how good she was in that film.

[@poett8875]

I agree. Her scene when she’s on the phone with Rod was worthy of a nomination alone. She was brilliant.

[@CEEBrown]

I’ve always love Alison Williams since girls and she’s so incredible in a series of unfortunate events. She’s outstanding in get out and fantastic in the perfection.Her performance in Megan is so underrated.

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

her canon of work will be iconic. She's one of those low key actresses where she will be deemed a cult classic queen. Kind of like Jamie Lee Curtis who only more recently got her flowers for her iconic filmography.

[@maylily820]

Why does this woman not get more recognition!? Ever sense get out like omg I’ve been a huge fan of hers and when I saw she was in m3gan I was like “yep this will be good”

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

Gimme a break, she is a working actor, that means that she is getting plenty of recognition. Kids are so damn extreme

Yea, I guess that kind of runs in her family😂

[@PVRGE7]

I hated her so bad in "Get Out" so she did an amazing job being the villain in that film, but it's even more amazing seeing her play a vulnerable character in this film. Totally the opposite of who she was in "Get Out"...Made me love her and feel bad for her on M3GAN lol. She needs to be in more movies for sure

[@Sdority905]

I love that the background music during M2GAN's dance at 7:46 was Taylor's "Nice to have a friend". Where my Swifties at???

[@willcookmakeup]

Love her. So cool also that she's a fellow CT native. Have a lot of friends that went to school with her and they all have said she hasn't changed and is exactly as she seems

Terminator x Child's Play x Clueless x Ex Machina x Black Mirror for the TikTok kiddies + Gen Z crowd with some social commentary on family dynamics, and using technology (iPads) to baby sit and raise kids. It succeeded!

[@courtney782]

I did not know who Allison Williams was, nor did I know that she is Brian William's daughter until she was linked with the brilliant and handsome lead actor, Alexander Dreymon, from the epic series The Last Kingdom on Netflix. That show is my favorite and it's so much better than Game of Thrones. It definitely deserved more attention, including award nominations for Alexander and the rest of the cast, and crew of TLK. It's a shame that it was overlooked by the award committees in the entertainment industry. Now that I'm familiar with Allison, I like her a lot. She and Alexander make a beautiful couple. I enjoyed the movie "M3GAN" and she's a really good actress. Very likeable and funny. A beautiful lady.
