I’m sure most of the world knows Vanessa Kirby from The Crown, but given that I try to avoid things related to the royals, she came into my orbit with last year’s critically acclaimed and Oscar nominated film Pieces of a Woman. She even got nominated! During this second year of the pandemic, I got the chance to catch her in an eerie drama called Italian Studies during the Tribeca Film Festival. Everyone else will have to wait until January to feast your eyes on it. I’d say with those performances in the bag she’s got a bright and magnetic future ahead of her. I look forward to what she puts out next!
