Michelle is incredible in EVERYTHING. It’s a shame there’s no discussion on ‘The Station Agent’, but sooo glad we got ‘Wendy and Lucy’!

Oh, of course you skipped over H20 since it is considered too lowbrow for VF standards. I’m surprised it even got a mention on the timeline!

It’s about time she got to do one of these. Probably one of the best actresses of her generation. I think she and Paul Dano were better than Fabelmans deserved, but whatever increases their profile.

Many projects I wanted to hear about were jumped. Why? Is that an actor’s decision?

Let’s not forget about her sleeper-hit role as Molly in Halloween H20. Thank you.

Would have loved to hear her take on Take This Waltz! Would have been especially interesting given her playing (surface level) similar characters in both, and costarring with Seth Rogen in both.
