20 BEST FILM PERFORMANCES OF 2024

Although 2024 may have been a mediocre year for films, the best film performances of the year listed below were outstanding and deserve recognition.


I include some under-the-radar work that you won't find on many other Year-End Lists. You'll see a few box-office bombs, a couple of ultra-low-budget experiments, and a substantial number of horror. In fact, some of these performances - particularly by women - were in horror, which made me very happy, given it's my favorite genre.


I didn't write anything specific about each. Instead, I picked out a clip from each film to whet your appetite for the entire performance.


If you'd like to see what else I've written about many of these actors (especially through my capsule movie reviews) just click on the actor's names. You can find out where to watch each film by clicking on the name of the film, too.
