She took a big risk a few years ago when she announced she wouldn’t be doing anymore ‘pretty blond’ roles even though they’d worked so well for her in the past (Scott Pilgrim, United States of Tara). Instead she did ‘Short Term 12’ as a plain non-blond. I thought it was a breakout performance in an outstanding film. She continued to play plain non-blonds in films like ‘The Gambler’ and ‘Digging for Fire’. I think her performance in ‘Room’ has the depth and fortitude I saw in ‘Short Term 12’. It won her a Golden Globe. She’s nominated for an Oscar. Whether she wins or not I believe she's one of the finest actors of her generation.
