15 Recent Performances That Were Criminally Underrated
6. Betty Gabriel In Get Out
While Daniel Kaluuya's amazing performance of Chris in Get Out received moderate acclaim and helped to further launch his career, Betty Gabriel's devastating, chilling performance as Georgina has been largely ignored, despite defining one of the film's most iconic scenes. There is so much sadness and pain in her eyes throughout the film. Her unique cadence makes her speech very unsettling, and it makes the revelation about her character made later in the film even more satisfying.
The many shots of her standing stiff in the distance, staring blankly at Chris would send a chill down any viewer's spine. Her presence in the film is one of the most iconic aspects of it, yet for some reason when people praise the film her performance is rarely mentioned.
Without an actress as talented as she is, her scenes would have not worked at all. Her incredible ability to emote is what the entire role rides on. It is because of her proficiency that the character is such a memorable aspect of the film.
