Pretty early in her career to do this but she still already has filmography most actors could only dream to have. She's doesn't even have to talk because of those giant beautiful and expressive eyes. No Menu? I loved that movie.

@michaelmoraga2926 well it can buy skill, that's the point. She's obviously immensely talented and she deserves all that credit. But the point of money buying opportunities is that it buys you time and energy and the best study avenues to cultivate skills. You need to take advantage of it, but money does have the ability to buy skills. Just not innate talent.

such a true acctress....the way she speaks about her craft! So bright, eloquent and charismatic...not to mention the amount of grace, sophistication and wisdom way beyond her years. She's by far the most phenomenal, versatile, magnetic and gifted actress to have come out these past 10 years. Only 28 and already a titan, and from day dot. Such deep, instinctive understanding of each of her characters and such profound empathy for them all. She is so unique and particular, inside and out. So expressive, such passion oozing out of her in every film. She has such full comprehension about the process of movie making and everything and everyone involved in it, from costars to directors to crew. And I love how much she seeks to learn from every new moviemaking experience, absorbs everything and builds on her craft each time. You can tell how much respect she has for it all. She's such a natural pro. Some people were put on this earth to do a very specific thing, and this is hers. She was made for this, and we are so grateful that we get to see it all unfold. Her brilliance truly knows no bounds. I will watch her in anything, everything she touches turns to gold. What a woman.

She spoke about that in an interview a while back! Anya didn't learn to speak English until she was 7, and was raised on both sides of the pond, so she didn't grow up with an "English" or "American" standard accent. Instead, she speaks Spanish with an Argentine accent and English with whatever accent is most common in the room.

13:15 I very much agree. Thomasin's anger was the perfect interpretation for the character at that moment. It speaks about the false accusation of being a witch, of being evil, a rotating thing for women, especially when it comes to religious contexts. Anger is an almost vengeful emotion in some ways, much more rebellious than tears.

The Witch is one of my favourite movies... the use of old language throughout takes intelligence to portray... Ralph Ineson is legendary, so I love that Anya learned so much from him. She enjoys the whole filmmaking process from all angles and departments that I wouldn't be surprised to see her creating something from behind the camera at some point. She is so stunning to look at... a true ethereal beauty.

@CuidightheachODuinn 27 күн бұрын

Eggers has easily become my favorite director of the modern day as I'm hard-pressed to see a film of him I don't, at the very least, enjoy. Highly anticipating the upcoming _Nosferatu_ remake by him featuring Willem Dafoe, Bill Skarsgård, and others -- however it's a pity that Anya-Taylor Joy had to drop out and will no longer be leading the film. Both Anya and Bill have such a striking appearance that would fit the gothic aesthetic *so* well. Alas, let's hope Lily-Rose Depp can bring the magic (though I've seen NOTHING with her in it and only know her because Depp, so I'm waiting with bated breath).
