It often takes an actor many years to establish themselves before they earn the reputation of being one of the best of their generation. However, Jesse Plemons has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting actors working today despite his relative youth. While Plemons built the foundation of his career through his scene-stealing performances on Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, and Fargo, he’s certainly managed to appear in more than a few modern classic films.
Adam McKay is best known for his more comedic films starring Will Ferrell and other popular comedians, but Vice is a harrowing examination of the issues that still affect the world today. The film has some unorthodox ways of making its points, including a bizarre musical sequence that can feel a tad jarring at first. However, it's the strength of actors like Plemons that makes the material so refreshing, engaging, and often disturbing.
Killers of the Flower Moon is an absorbing epic that examines the disturbing ramifications of generational violence, and ensures that the perspective of the Osage people that is most prominent. While the storyline featuring White is important in the film’s historical context, Scorsese makes the right decision to put the victims at the center of the narrative. Through his unique ability to command the screen, Plemons is striking without ever pulling too much focus.
It’s impossible to forget Plemons’ character, as he is a radicalized militia member whose xenophobia leads him to commit shocking acts of murder. While determining the theme of Civil War may be difficult given the film’s lack of exposition, Plemons’ character encapsulates the toxic masculinity and lack of reason that Garland is warning against. The film has no shortage of shocking moments, but the plainspoken vitriol that Plemons conveys in his performance is perhaps its most disturbing moment.
Despite being one of the longest Best Picture nominees in Oscar history, The Irishman is a highly entertaining epic about the inescapability of violence. Scorsese uses the film’s brilliant de-aging CGI effects to analyze how a life committed to the mafia leaves criminals feeling dejected and abandoned.
