Watched her in The Favourite last week and she is superb - vulnerable, a little pathetic and utterly hilarious throughout. I’m also currently ploughing through the first season of Broadchurch. A versatile actress indeed. Many happy returns!

I look forward to seeing her in the new UK miniseries version of Les Misérables: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/81224-les-miserables?language=en-US Here, in the States, I believe that will begin airing
in early March.(Update: I've been informed that the Stateside PBS premiere will be on April 14.)Reply by wonder2wonder

She's certainly wonderful, easily going from comedy to drama in the past decade. You shouldn't miss her last two performances in the television series "Les Misérables (2018)" and "The Crown (2016-)".
