In a year in which one of the best, buzziest, and most lauded films is a three-hander starring some of Hollywood’s best actresses, it’s only fitting that a list of best performances by women be deep. From indie stalwarts to rising stars, fresh faces to some of Hollywood’s most reliable performers, 2018 has played home to a wealth of films ruled by women, and compiling a list of the best of the bunch proved to be easy (so many choices) and difficult (so many choices).
As with the year’s best film performances by men, the best of the bunch hailed from a variety of films and genres. For every massive blockbuster like “Crazy Rich Asians,” there’s an indie dark horse like “Hereditary,” and that each kind of film could include work worthy of inclusion on any best-of list speaks to the strength of this year’s picks.
