10 Worst Movies With Great Lead Performances, Ranked
There are few things that are as important to making a great movie as the actors. Regardless of whether it's finding a note-perfect performance in a comedy or a horror or simply an acting masterclass in a hard-hitting drama, many of the greatest movies of all time are supported by the sublime work of their stars. However, sometimes the commitment and dedication of an actor can go unrewarded in a film that doesn’t live up to their immense talents.
Its thematic points are both shallow and heavy-handed, but the film finds a spectacular saving grace in the lead performance of Florence Pugh. Even when the façade Alice wears can’t wither, Pugh still balances dread, disbelief, and fury boiling away beneath the surface. Her subtle yet growing discontent imbues the bright and vibrant setting with a sinister edge, though she also flaunts a concentrated explosiveness in the more confrontational scenes.
In spite of this, Margot Robbie turns in an exceptional performance as the first ever live-action portrayal of the infamous fan-favorite Harley Quinn. She is delightfully charismatic in her psychotic effervescence, making for a magnetic screen presence that even shows glimpses of vulnerability despite the script offering very little wriggle room for her. While the vast majority of the movie was thrown out by Warner Bros.

Playing the part of Wallis Simpson, the woman King Edward VIII would abdicate the throne to marry, Andrea Riseborough is spectacular as both a lovestruck woman and, later, a victim trapped in a difficult relationship. Abbie Cornish is similarly brilliant, as are James D’Arcy and Oscar Isaac, but the film is the ultimate testament to the fact that great acting alone is incapable of elevating an otherwise catastrophic obscenity.
