【MovieWeb】Elizabeth Debicki’s 10 Best Performances, Ranked

Elizabeth Debicki is a unique actress who, little by little, supporting role by supporting role, has been creating a very interesting career for herself. She’s already worked with incredible filmmakers like Baz Luhrmann, Christopher Nolan, and Steve McQueen, and is finally getting to be the lead in unique films. Here are Elizabeth Debicki’s 10 best performances, ranked.

She plays socialite Jordan Baker, and infuses her with a sense of fun, as she knows how good life is for herself and wants to enjoy it as much as possible. Although it’s a supporting role, Debicki makes the best of it while also showing how at home she is in this period piece, even using Scott Fitzgerald’s words, as if she’s been saying them all her life.

The character could’ve been one note, but Debicki gives it much more power, intensity, and sadness, showing how Jed is trapped in a system that only wants her for her looks. She knows all she’s done to get to this easy position in life, and yet she’s not happy with it and doesn’t know how to escape it. About the character, Debicki told The Guardian something Le Carre himself said: “He said to me, after we’d finished making the show, ‘Oh, you made her so much more interesting than I did.”

A CIA operative, Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill), and a KGB agent, Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), have to work together to stop a criminal family from getting their hands on nuclear weapons. Debicki plays the mastermind in the criminal family, Victoria Vinciguerra. She could’ve been a generic villain, but she’s enjoying playing the mastermind, behind her husband’s name.

The Crown was already a success in telling the story of the British Royal Family. Debicki has taken the role of Princess Diana in the fifth and sixth seasons. Although we’ve only seen her play the character in the fifth season, one full of fashion moments, it’s already obvious why they cast her. Debicki plays the character greatly, imbuing some of her most known characteristics, while also showing how she and Charles were not made for each other.
