That said, let’s get into his film career in a special with which he tries to remember and reclaim the level of an actress capable of always being believable, regardless of the tone or genre of the story being told. Sure, we can’t deny that she’s also a performer who, in her least inspired moments, embraces acting all too easily, but it’s still something eerily akin to a house-brand factor.
In any case, in these ten films we find a wonderful actress who does what she does best in the most inspired way possible. From romantic comedy to costume drama, passing through the field of fantasy or thriller of continuous surprise, these feature films are a true display of Claire Danes’ talent and versatility.
