GREAT PERFORMANCES: LIGHTS CAMERA FFELINGS!


Acting involves a performer adopting a character in order to illustrate a story through various potential mediums. And great actors are able to express specific emotions on cue with astounding skill and impressive endurance.

For this year's New York Times celebration of Great Performances, the focus is on how these ten actors, who each gave brilliantly heartfelt and deeply moving film performances in 2025, were able to tap into such big feelings.

Wang, the actors spotlighted are Jessie Buckley ("Hamnet"), Rose Byrne ("If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"), Kathleen Chalfant ("Familiar Touch"), Kirsten Dunst ("Roofman"), Jacob Elordi ("Frankenstein"), Lee Byung Hun ("No Other Choice"), Wunmi Mosaku ("Sinners"), Wagner Moura ("The Secret Agent"), Liam Neeson ("The Naked Gun"), and Teyana Taylor ("One Battle After Another").
