10 Actors Who Gave The Best Performance Of Their Careers In 2020

2. Millie Bobby Brown - Enola Holmes

All of the other films on this list have been quite hard-hitting and dark so far, which makes the more light-hearted Enola Holmes and Millie Bobby Brown’s performance as the title character stick out a bit.

But the fact is that this is such a departure from Brown’s usual roles, and she does it so well, that it would be a crime to leave it off of this list.

A film built around one central performance is always a gamble, even with world-class actors like Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin to round out the supporting cast, but Brown is clearly giving it her all in every scene. Her passion for the film and her character shine through in every line, which makes us passionate about the journey in turn.

Actors don’t have to be crying their hearts out or screaming the house down to be giving amazing performances. Sometimes, they can just fully embody a character having the time of their lives and that’s enough to make us more than glad that we came along for the ride.
