She's absolutely incredible in Cruella!

[MatthiaGryffine]

Definitely my favourite British actress.

She is such a good actress that I have never noticed how beautiful she is. She usually plays the every woman. She's as beautiful as ever, and more importantly she's at the top of her game. I would put her third in the list of best English actresses.

As far as I'm concerned, the best actress of all time. Meryl has nothing on her, and she writes brilliantly and is an advocate. I love you Emma Thompson for everything you do is magical. Much Ado About Nothing, Sense and Sensibility, Howard's End, and Wit are performances that have stayed with me since I saw them first. What a career!

[masuganut]

I could watch Emma Thompson in anything! That woman could make a laxative commercial sound like comedic and poetic all that once. No one can surpass her!!

[jlymenb]

Totally issed #1 "THE CHILDREN ACT" and "Much Ado" as well as "Stranger Than Fiction"" should also be up there in the top. She always immerses herself in her characters. Emma has always
given us great performances.

Much ado about nothing?? Dead again? The Love Punch? Beauty and the Beast? Mrs Lovett in a Sweeney Todd adaption? Aaaaand THE CHILDREN ACT?? She was incredible in this one, I mean, she always is, but this movie is extraordinary

[morwennaf]

You completely missed Much Ado About Nothing and Stranger than Fiction.

Her screen time was brief— only four scenes— but she was also terrific as Carey Mulligan’s headmistress in An Education.

[linakoh]

Hi Hi... I love Emma Thompson.. she always reminds of the saying "the English Rose" Thank you for sharing another great picks...

[leonbrooks]

Thompson and Rickman always seemed to be able to bring the absolute best out of each other.

[stackels]

She was great in Harry Potter but definitely not a top 10: Needed much ado and stranger than fiction in there.
She truly is one of the best of all time!! ❤️❤️❤️
