A look at some of her best and famous movies, including Unfaithful, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Let Him Go.
- Let Him Go (2020) According to Rotten Tomatoes, Diane Lane's best live-action movie is "Let Him Go," a slow-burn Western-tinged thriller from 2020. Based on the 2013 novel by Larry Watson, "Let Him Go" sees Lane reteam with her "Man of Steel" costar, Kevin Costner.
