I'm not always a big fan of children/teenagers in film. Or child/teenage characters in general. They either make the feature so sugary sweet that I get a toothache or they are such annoying smart asses that you wonder why an adult hasn't ended them. So, when I do come across a nuanced, sophisticated performance from an actor under 20, it truly stands out for me. McKenna Grace held her own with every adult she interacted with. She was interesting and a little devilishly wicked. She and my supporting actress winner, Dafne Keen, also prove that children can handle feature roles. Age shouldn't be an excuse for a bad performance.
