I feel like each of these three had a phenomenal breakout role (Blackkklansman, Ex Machina and Phantom Thread) and haven't approached those heights since

Alicia's breakout role was A Royal Affair.

are we ready for the "John David Washington is not a good actor" discussion yet?

I'm not willing to go quite that far just yet. I really liked him in BlacKkKlansman. Both Tenet and Malcolm & Marie were not good on his part, but I also thought they were lacking in general. It maybe that he's a good (but not great) actor who really needs a strong director to shine and really flounders with weak material. I need to see him in another good movie before I'm willing to judge.

We've had that discussion a few times lol I don't think he's offensively bad although he's clearly got zero screen presence (guess his daddy kept it all for himself). Plus, he's nice to look at and if we have to deal with nepotism either way, at least it's benefitting a POC this time.

Sometimes he’s hot, other times he’s offensively ugly. I don’t get it.

I guess I am the only one who likes john david. Alicia whatever can go, she’s fucking boring

[ohwutevernvm]

Wow that sounds kinda boring

I will never understand the hateboner this community has for Alicia.

I recently watched Ex Machina for the first time and she was fucking fantastic in it.
