7. Milo Machado Graner in Anatomy of a Fall - Graner powerfully reveals the truth of a death, through his own struggling to understand it. 

Best Scene: His experiment.

Bryan L. said...

It’s kind of interesting that Mark Ruffalo has been at both the very top & bottom of an Overall.

Tony Kim said...

So I notice Plemons has been upgraded to a 4, do you have any specific updated thoughts or did he just stand out more in your rewatch (esp. in contrast to Leo)?

Also, have there been any other changed ratings I missed?

Emi Grant said...

Taika Waititi almost had that distinction too.

Calvin Law said...

Koji Yakusho - Perfect Days
Teo Yoo - Past Lives
Charles Melton - May December
Andrew Scott - All of Us Strangers
Glenn Howerton - Blackberry
Soya Kurokawa and Eita Nagayama - Monster
George MacKay and Nathan Stewart-Jarrrett - Femme
Michael Fassbender - The Killer

I would say Josh O'Connor in La Chimera too but there's absolutely no chance you'll be able to get to see it before you finish this round. Maybe a future bonus review.

Tony & Anonymous:

Any rating changes that are here, are either just in memory, they have had a lasting impact or it lessened a little. No major thought changes.

Standing - (If the film was truly into what's going on with him and Caine it could've truly got to something, as Standing slow sort of revelation of this seemingly just likeable older man filled in fact with so much pain and despair is extremely striking. It's unfortunately limited by just how much scope the film gives him. There was definitely something here even with what Standing has he brings something, particularly his surprisingly depressing note which he plays full force as such, which again seems almost too dark for the film's overall tone but regardless well delivered.)

Tahmeed:

Mescal would be #3 for him, Dafoe would be #4.
