Out of all of 1923TV's performances so far, the best hands down is Helen Mirren as Cara Dutton.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for 1923.An injured man stumbling away from a hidden enemy hot on his trail. A mad scramble in a dark forest. A few eternal seconds filled with fumbling attempts to load shells into a chamber. A howl of pain echoed through the woods.
In the case of Cara, it is the overlapping of all of these different roles that creates the nuance and power of Mirren’s performance. The opening scene clearly showed a Cara who had been pushed to the limits of her endurance, but in addition to sparking the interest in the plot, that opening scene also suggested a side of Cara that stood in contrast to the maternal character she displayed elsewhere in the plot.
Take, for example, the sequence of conversations she has with Jack and Elizabeth. When Jack needs to delay the wedding for the sake of saving the cattle, Elizabeth flies into a rage, leaving Jack perplexed. When Cara arrives to smooth the situation over, she deftly handles both of them in turn. To Jack, she presents herself as the terse and stern voice of reason, explaining to him in no uncertain terms what an idiot he has been and telling him exactly what he needs to do next.
