Top 25 – Female Performances in 2018
Something very positive from 2018 was how many fantastic roles in film we had for women, this list was extremely difficult to put together this year as I certainly had a lot to choose from! That can obviously only be a very good thing in my opinion.
Here are the 25 performances that made it onto my list . . .
Widows (2018) Review
In Chicago four women end up working together to try to rebuild their lives after being left in debt because of their dead husbands criminal activities, they have nothing in common and pretty much cannot stand each other. But needs must to survive.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Antwone Fisher (2002) Review
Antwone Fisher is based on a true story of a young man in the navy who struggles to control his temper and he must see psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport to help control himself. His painful past is revealed and Davenport really wants to help this young man as much as possible.
