In the novel War & Peace, Leo Tolstoy describes Princess Marya Bolkonskaya as an exceptionally plain woman whose countenance is “transfigured by beautiful eyes.” Although Jessie Buckley is by no means plain, she was an excellent fit for Marya in the BBC’s miniseries adaptation, precisely because of those eyes. She conveys so much through them: the ...
Buckley’s first feature-length starring role was in Beast, an eerie, nasty psychological thriller about a woman who falls in love with a possible serial killer. As Moll, a lonely rich girl with a manipulative, controlling mother, Buckley is utterly sympathetic at first: she’s tense and frightened around her mother, her body language and voice calib...
Wild Rose could have been as forgettable as any number of post-Billy Elliot British movies about unlikely dreamers. It centers on Rose-Lynn Harlan, a headstrong ex-convict from Glasgow who dreams of becoming a country star along the lines of Dolly Parton or Wynonna Judd. There are the typical obstacles — hard luck, disapproving parents, etc. — but ...
Chernobyl gave many human faces to the infamous nuclear disaster, and Lyudmilla Ignatenko might be the most tragic. The loving, pregnant wife of a firefighter who’s one of the first responders, Lyudmilla is awake at the time of the explosion, and bears witness to the fallout: she watches the radiation poisoning slowly melt her husband, and she give...
The fourth season of Fargo may not have been as strong as the previous three, but it did provide one of the series’ most indelible characters. Oraetta Mayflower is a serial killer nurse who unwittingly starts a gang war when she poisons a powerful figure in the criminal underworld. Fitting with Fargo’s fatalistic tone, Oraetta is a force majeure, a...
As the female lead in Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Jessie Buckley plays a woman named Lucy, or Lucia, or Louisa, or Ames. She’s traveling with her boyfriend, Jake (Jesse Plemons), to meet his parents for dinner at their farmhouse, even though she’s thinking of breaking up with him. There, she sees them growing older and younger ...
Based on the feminist protests against the 1970 Miss World pageant in London, Misbehaviour is a fitfully funny, largely forgettable crowd-pleaser that makes the obvious choice at every turn. (To give the reader an idea of how thuddingly on-the-nose it gets, there’s a “You Don’t Own Me” needle drop in the trailer.) But while it won’t surprise anyone...
Buckley was no stranger to Shakespeare before Romeo and Juliet; she played Miranda in The Tempest and Perdita in The Winter’s Tale. But her star had already thoroughly risen by the time she played Juliet for a filmed National Theatre production, and it shows though her acting. There’s a confidence to her every choice, even when her character might ...
What’s more daunting than performing opposite an actress as acclaimed as Olivia Colman? How about playing a younger version of Colman’s character, therefore guaranteeing that the two performances will be compared to each other? That was the situation Jessie Buckley entered when she signed onto Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, a chilly psychol...
