The Best Actor/Actress Today


I suppose I can't speak to all languages, but for those working primarily in the English language, I honestly can't think of a person more talented than Swinton at this time and place.

She is great.

Agree, she's fascinating, versatile, and can be wicked as well as charming. I have her in my top 5 women actors, right up there with Winslet Blanchett Streep and Moore. The film that I really found her entertaining in was Snow Piercer. I couldn't take my eyes off her even when other actors were delivering lines. I find her best role to date was in "we need to talk about Kevin". Wow!

I concur. She is amazing and "bad to the bone". Amazing actress.

Agree. All those actresses you named are favourites of mine to,as well as the amazing Tilda.

She certainly is intriguing, that much I will say. I'm not sure if being good at looking androgynous makes one a great actor, but I do like Ms Swinton.
The funny thing is -- I have this weird mental block with her name. I can always remember Cate Blanchett but I have the hardest time with Tilda Swinton. Doesn't make any sense. I think Cate might make more public appearances, maybe that's it.

Not to mention how many "Cates", "Katies" & "Cathryns" the average person knows in their life. Don't remember ever knowing even one "Tilda".

Which means she should be even that much more memorable. I think most adults who have watched Tilda Swinton in a film likely remembers HER is not her name. That's my problem. I can't remember her name as much as I really like her. It's just a funny mental thing.

I generally love Tilda but have to say that she is insufferable in The Dead Don't Die, which I am watching at the moment.
