15 Recent Performances That Were Criminally Underrated

In a role based on the child version of his co-star Shia LaBeouf, Noah Jupe shows a depth and proficiency far beyond what you would expect from someone of his age, cementing himself as one of the best child actors in a long time. Shia LaBeouf is often considered to be a bit of a wreck in real life, however when you watch Jupe's performance in this film as he goes through a very stressful upbringing, you'll wonder how LaBeouf didn't end up worse off.

Even at his young age, Jupe is totally up to the task of handling the situations the film throws him into with grace and confidence. He pulls off the maturity his character has been forced to adopt early that you'll forget he is as young as he is. However, when the role requires it he is able to effortlessly slip back into the emotional state of a child who wants a father who treats him the way he deserves to be treated.

Jupe has an incredibly promising career ahead of him if he is already displaying acting chops like these so early in his filmography. By the time he's an adult, he'll likely have become a household name due to the great talent he holds.
