My Favourite Performances of 2022
Actors Acting!
Like everything else I post on here, take this with a grain of salt. There’s nothing rational here in terms of the performances I pick, or even the order I list them in (I tried for alphabetical, but some performances are grouped together, so sorry about that). Some of them are good performances in good movies, others are standout performances in bad movies, and all of them have left some impression on me after watching them.
