I really hope her agent gets her a role which isn’t just moody teenage girl, she has more range and shouldn’t only play different variations of Max all her life, she deserves Oscar’s

[@mercy6549]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@maia-k]

@@jorgechavez9474 the problem is not the fact she looks young. It’s the fact it’s the same type of edgy teenage girl she keeps doing, she can easily play a mature role like the all too well film. she needs diversity in her filmography or critics will get bored of her

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

@@maia-k she literally has tho

[@maia-k]

@@PenguinsAreColdish no she hasn’t they are just like max, moody teenagers, even ellie was. even berlin nobody has the same character description.

[@andrebillups4079]

What shows more range than being moody and how her character has grown over time. I don’t agree on Stranger things she’s been able to show a range of different emotions as an character and it has helped her career immensely and also lol bro it’s only one more season it’s not all her life. It’s like you’ve only watched season one. We’ve seen her now be happy, be in love, be sad, be depressed, be angry, afraid she’s going to die, we’ve seen her fight, be in fear, and unable to fight. We’ve literally seen all those forms of her through 3 seasons now of Stranger Things they never have her just being ONE WAY the entire series

[@jlkitz1775]

This young woman is SO multi-faceted, can't wait to see how her career unfolds. Her humility & maturity are refreshing, especially in younger performers.

[@fredor5126]

Nothing about her seems fake or forced. Very humble and down to earth with such simple style. That's rare for a young celebrity as popular as she is.

[@twinjuke]

Hm, Sadie, not just an great actor, but a down to Earth person who radiates beauty from inside. No extreme makeup, no harsh allure, just pure herself. At least it's how I see. Rare gem in this world.

What an absolutely delightful actor! Huge kudos to Sadie, her supportive family and friends that keep her grounded, humble and articulate. Can we just bubble wrap this young talented individual because her talent comes very rarely. Such a breath of fresh air to see a 20 year-old who presents herself with such authenticity . We are only just beginning to see what this artist can do and I, for one, look forward to her long long career! Bravo Sadie - such an intelligent, grounded, well-spoken and beautiful actor!

She’s so amazing at it and then no one sees it but finally!! Congrats sadie you deserve everything ❤️💞 Side note I am also really appreciative that this interviewer treated sadie like a normal person bc everyone treats actors like they’re not normal people and it makes them uncomfortable at times and I just appreciate making her feel okay :)

Although clearly being a little shy, she tries her best to keep her posture and to treat everyone with such kindness. I also love how she doesn't go out there telling every interviewer about her personal life, she's that kind of actress who might very well be in a relationship right now and we will never now it, unless she wants us to. And, of course, she rarely - if ever - get involved in controversial issues or social/political opinions and that's my favorite thing about her.

"Main stream people"? Tell us, who are the main stream people, besides you?

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

@@morbidmanmusic the average movie goer? Look at Aronofsky's past works and how much they made at the box office. I'm not using that as a judgment of their quality or success, but how many people watch his movies in theaters. It's nowhere compared to blockbusters like Marvel movies, Bond movies, Star Wars, etc. Some do quite well like Black Swan and Noah, but I guarantee you that The Whale won't be anywhere near that. It simply doesn't appeal to the "mainstream people".

[@bellaaguila1918]

The only reason I think Sadie won't get nominated in Oscar is because of her age, which is kind of stupid for me especially when some critics would prefer other artists who has been in the industry much longer than her. Others even despise her acting as Ellie for being such a mean character. Like what does not click with these guys? The character was written that way and Sadie did tremendously great portraying Ellie. If you hated her that much then that means she did her job well. I hope Sadie gets more exposure with films like this.. she has great acting chops and she will be an even brighter star in the next years to come.
