“Is Harry Styles a plausible movie star?” MJSchulman writes, “It’s a job requiring less facility for transformation than sheer magnetism—something an international pop star presumably has at his fingertips.”
,” touting her vanish-into-the-role Method techniques even as her pop image underlined every scene in crimson lipstick.
Other music stars have made more varied choices. Frank Sinatra was a version of Frank Sinatra in “Guys and Dolls” and “Ocean’s Eleven,” but he could adapt his Rat Pack machismo to war dramas and political thrillers . Madonna used film roles to reinforce her shape-shifting image—punk bad girl , femme fatale , global luminary —but also added spark to the ensemble of “A League of Their Own.
Styles, commendably, has gone more the Cher route in his choice of roles so far. In 2017, he made his feature début, as a soldier in Christopher Nolan’s “,” placing him in a vast ensemble and in a fight for survival that left little room to coast on charm. Notwithstanding a cameo in Marvel’s “Eternals,” as some sort of intergalactic prince, he seems intent on playing regular blokes, albeit ones with perfect hair and puppy-dog eyes.
Sexual yearning is also at the heart of “My Policeman,” in which Styles plays Tom, a cop in nineteen-fifties Brighton who has a winsome romance with a naïve schoolteacher named Marion . Once they marry, Marion realizes that Tom has a big secret: he has been having a torrid, illegal affair with their friend Patrick , a curator. As their pretty lives shatter, we see the same three characters in rueful middle age, reunited in a drab beach house.
