Top 10 Brie Larson Performances
9. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)
Scott Pilgrim vs the World Review
Ah, the classic that is Scott Pilgrim. It may not float everyone’s boat, but it is a timeless geeky movie. Brie Larson has a small part in this film as Envy Adams, Scott’s ex-girlfriend. It’s likely that you’ll have witnessed the iconic ‘Clash at Demonhead’ scene where Larson performs with her band. If you haven’t seen it, you have definitely heard the song. Although this was a small part for Larson, it did bring her to the attention of a wider audience.
10. Free Fire (2016)
Directed by Ben Wheatley (Sightseers; High Rise), Free Fire is an action-comedy film with a whole host of famous faces including Cillian Murphy and Armie Hammer. Set almost entirely in a warehouse, this film is pretty much one big shootout between two parties, with Larson’s character Justine at the centre of the conflict. Although ridiculous and comedic, we see Larson portraying a strong female character with enough nerve to hold her own. In the evolution of Larson’s career, this performance is perhaps the transitory period between comedy and action, between 21 Jump Street/Scott Pilgrim and Kong: Skull Island/Captain Marvel.
