(Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday.
This week’s question: With 2019 almost half-over, what is the best movie performance of the year so far?
Kaitlyn Dever (“Booksmart”)
Deany Cheng (@dennynotdeeny), Freelance
I’ve turned over Kaitlyn Dever’s performance in “Booksmart” in my head again and again over the past month or so, and every time I consider it, I find myself impressed even more. It isn’t the showiest turn–hell, it isn’t even the most immediately memorable performance in its own movie–but Dever’s subtly funny, eternally awkward Amy is the connective tissue that keeps a film that occasionally feels like a series of stitched-together music videos from spiraling too far off the deep end. From drug trips to heartbreaks to cringe-inducing romantic encounters, Dever switches gears with a subtle finesse that feels both natural and hilariously unexpected.

The issue of illegal immigrants or, as this film would pointedly have it, undocumented Americans, is given a very human face in Jose Antonio Vargas’ documentary about his own undocumented status despite living in this country for twenty years and forging a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism career. Co-directed by Ann Lupo, Documented is advocacy filmmaking that also manages to succeed in pulling heartstrings.

Immigration and citizenship in the United States is often presented in the media in black and white terms: you are either legal or illegal. And if you're in the latter category, the threat of deportation remains a constant fear, with 1100 people sent back to the native countries each day. However, for Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, his story is one that's more complicated, and speaks to the lives of many in the U.S. whose status is something more complex. Directed by Vargas and co-directed Ann Raffaela Lupo, "Documented" finds Vargas telling his own tale of being sent to America from the Philippines when he was twelve years old to live with his grandparents, staying the country where he went college, entered a career and journalism and more, all while keeping secret his true status. But after penning a column for the New York Times in 2011 outing himself as undocumented,...
