From Ethan Hawke in Before Sunrise to Ellar Coltrane in Boyhood, these are the best performances in Richard Linklater movies, ranked.
Richard Linklater’s offbeat style of “slice of life” filmmaking has taken the industry by storm ever since the debut of his breakthrough 1990 film Slacker. The Texan filmmaker has a way of making even the dullest of conversations feel existential; few filmmakers can combine grittiness and sincerity in the same way that Linklater can.
Cate Blanchett stars as a normal woman who abandons the comfort of her life to go on an overseas adventure, forcing her husband to go on a global search to find her. 9 Keanu Reeves as Bob Arctor 'A Scanner Darkly' 2006’s A Scanner Darkly was Linklater’s second film using the odd “rotoscoping” animation style that added a paint-like texture to live-action images.
MacLaine is considered to be a charismatic actress, but she sinks her teeth into one of the most unlikeable characters in any of Linklater’s films. It’s particularly amusing to see how she tortures Black with her obnoxious insults. 6 Uma Thurman as Amy 'Tape' 2001’s Tape was a wildly experimental film from Linklater; the entire film takes place within the confines of a single hotel room and features only three characters.
Even though his role in the coming-of-age dramedy is a rather brief one, it encapsulates everything that McConaughey does best; he just has to ooze charisma as he delivers one existential monologue after another. It’s unquestionably one of the major reasons his performances have appealed to multiple generations of movie fans. 4 Jack Black as Dewey Finn 'School of Rock' School of Rock shouldn’t work nearly as well as it does.
