Frankie Corio was excellent in Aftersun

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber is a great shout as well

Had no idea Die Hard was Alan Rickmans first movie. Good call!

I didn’t know until about 5 minutes ago when I looked up more examples 🤣

Corio was my first thought. It's rare to see a child actor be so natural on camera.

The last child actor I was equally impressed by was Quvenzhane Wallis in Beasts of the Southern Wild, although she seems to be heading for only a decent career rather than superstardom.

It's going to be tough for young Corio to find anything as great as Aftersun even this early into her career. It's a damn shame she's not got any award buzz. I hope (also with Paul Mescal), they can be in good to great films and produce great performances. It be tougher for Corio as she's still pretty young and she's not going to get the chance straight away to do a bunch of films like Mescal can.

But excellent debut performance for sure.

Alan Rickman is absolutely the correct answer. Such confidence in his acting and performance, for as villainous a character as he plays it honestly doesn't come across as scenery chewing as it so very well could have.
