10 Actors Who Gave Their Best Performances In Movies Nobody Saw

8. Kristen Stewart - Personal Shopper

The bizarre, Twilight-inspired narrative that Kristen Stewart couldn't act thankfully died long ago, with a bevy of performances in the likes of Camp X-Ray, Clouds of Sils Maria, Still Alice, Certain Women, Lizzie, Seberg, and Happiest Season to prove it.

Stewart even became the only American actress in history to win a César Award when she won Best Supporting Actress for her terrific turn in Clouds of Sils Maria.

But the true career-best role that gets away from all but the most die-hard K-Stew fans? Personal Shopper.

Olivier Assayas' chilly 2016 psychological thriller stars Stewart as Maureen, a young American woman working as a personal shopper for a celebrity in Paris, all while trying to communicate with her recently-deceased twin brother.

Stewart's remarkably subtle performance encapsulates the anguish of grief without excess histrionics, delivering a heartbreakingly internalised portrait of sorrow in the process.

The film ultimately never caught on outside of the art-house circuit, though, grossing just $2.7 million worldwide.
