Jodie Comer works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Jodie Comer appears in 9 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Jodie. The Making of the Last Duel is the clearest case: a film rated 9.0 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, quiet performance. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for action, adventure, drama. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Michael Sarnoski, Danny Boyle, Shawn Levy and others, Jodie Comer helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

The defining work
#1
Self
The Making of the Last Duel (2021)
Performance score8.9
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Self gives Jodie Comer a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Self
An Audience with Adele (2021)
Performance score8.1
An Audience with Adele asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Self is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.
View movie#3
Millie Rusk / Molotovgirl
Free Guy (2021)
Performance score7.8
Free Guy asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Millie Rusk / Molotovgirl is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Marguerite de Carrouges
The Last Duel (2021)
Performance score7.7
The Last Duel asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Marguerite de Carrouges is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

A guided path through the work, ordered so each film explains the next.
Best entry point
as Self
Start here. The Making of the Last Duel is the clearest statement of what Jodie Comer does — accessible, 33 minutes, and rated 9.0 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Jodie at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
An Audience with Adele (2021)
Same director as The Making of the Last Duel, different problem to solve. Watching them in order shows how much of the effect was the collaboration.
Free Guy (2021)
A deliberate change of key after An Audience with Adele — same instrument, unfamiliar tuning, and the reason range gets mentioned.
The Last Duel (2021)
A deliberate change of key after Free Guy — same instrument, unfamiliar tuning, and the reason range gets mentioned.
Help (2021)
Keeps the drama register of The Last Duel but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
The Last Duel
as Marguerite de Carrouges
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
An Audience with Adele
as Self
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Jodie Comer has known it for a long time.”

Ours alone
Recognitions handed out by this desk, on criteria no awards body uses.
Modern Classic Performer

Defining performances delivered inside the last twenty-five years, in films already being taught rather than merely remembered.
Drama Legend
Awarded
5 catalogue titles in drama, each one a reference point for the films that followed.
Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
The Last Duel
as Marguerite de Carrouges
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
The End We Start From
as Woman
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
The Making of the Last Duel
as Self
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
The Death of Robin Hood
as Sister Brigid
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
The Bikeriders
as Kathy
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
The Death of Robin Hood
as Sister Brigid
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
