I love Tilda! Such a singular actress, effortlessly cool and extremely talented.
My personal favourite performance is We Need to Talk About Kevin. I also love her hilarious villain in Snowpiercer. She has the kind of demeanour that lends itself well to evil or sinister characters, but whether good or bad, she is always welcome, even in bad movies.
