NataliePortman is one of cinema's most celebrated and recognizable actresses. With ThorLoveandThunder, she makes her grand return to the MCU.
Few actresses can say they started as child performers working with some of the very best talent and grew up to earn an Oscar and a Harvard degree while starring in the two most successful and influential franchises in film history. Then again, not every actress is Natalie Portman.
The second is Michael Mann’s crime drama Heat, which sees Portman play a small but pivotal supporting role as Al Pacino’s suicidal stepdaughter. Per Mann’s own words, Portman was ” a prodigy” capable of portraying someone who was “seriously dysfunctional without any overt hysteria.” Mann hits the nail on the head with this description, capturing the very essence of a Portman performance.
Because Portman wasn’t always in control, especially as a child. The actress famously turned down Adrian Lyne’s remake of Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial novel Lolita, publicly stating that “there’s enough exploitation out there that it’s not necessary to do more of that.” But Portman herself, against her wishes, was Lolita-ed by the industry and audiences who grew accustomed to seeing her as an “old soul,” an adult-child hybrid who seemed more comfortable around adults than people her age.
In all fairness, Padmé and Anakin are as good as any other Star Wars couple. The galaxy far, far away has never been particularly famous for its complex romances. From Han and Leia to Kylo and Rey, love isn’t the franchise’s strong suit. Still, there’s something genuine and, dare we say, meaningful about their bond, perhaps because it plays a more crucial role in the story than any of Star Wars’ other affairs.
Portman continued this new phase in her thriving career, experimenting with other roles and genres. Some — the first Thor movie and her feature directorial debut, A Tale of Love and Darkness — worked, while others — No Strings Attached, the second Thor movie — didn’t. Yet, critics and audiences didn’t give up on Portman, especially not when she was actively trying to branch out.
