◆ Trending: Five must-watch films starring Kristen Stewart and where to see them
Kristen Stewart’s new film, Love Lies Bleeding, opened the Glasgow Film Festival this week – the perfect excuse to look back at her remarkable career to date. Here are five of her finest moments.
Crimes of the Future (Sky Cinema): Set in a dystopian future where human evolution has accelerated and two performance artists use surgery as a grotesque form of art, Stewart gives a typically singular performance as a nervous young bureaucrat who becomes obsessed with the organ-harvesting act.
Spencer (Netflix): Stewart was robbed of the Oscar for Best Actress (beaten by Jessica Chastain for the little-watched The Eyes of Tammy Faye) for her remarkable portrayal of Princess Diana in Pablo
Larrain’s nightmarish royal drama. Set at Sandringham during the Christmas of 1991, it sees Diana spiral into fullon crisis as she contemplates escaping her marriage.
The Clouds of Sils Maria (Disney+): Arguably Stewart’s finest performance to date, this Olivier Assayas film sees her hold her own opposite Juliette Binoche – playing an insecure middle-aged actress.
Stewart plays Binoche’s loyal assistant who has to deal with her boss’s myriad demands. It saw her win a César Award (the French Oscars).
Still Alice (MGM+): Julianne Moore won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this devastating portrayal of an academic grappling with familial Alzheimer’s disease. Stewart plays her youngest child – an aspiring actress who decides not to be tested for the condition that is robbing her mother of her memories.
Personal Shopper (Disney+): The second film that saw Stewart team up with Assayas is a divisive supernatural thriller. Stewart plays a personal shopper for a celebrity in Paris – all the while attempting to communicate with her dead twin brother.
