Margot Robbie 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.
Margot Robbie appears in 29 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Margot. The Wolf of Wall Street is the clearest case: a film rated 8.3 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 crime, romance, drama. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Bradley Cooper, Emerald Fennell, Sam Levinson and others, Margot Robbie 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
Naomi Lapaglia
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Performance score8.5
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Naomi Lapaglia gives Margot Robbie a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Harley Quinn
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Performance score8.1
The Suicide Squad asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Harley Quinn is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.
View movie#3
Tonya
I, Tonya (2017)
Performance score8.1
I, Tonya asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Tonya is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.
View movie#4
Charlotte
About Time (2013)
Performance score8.0
About Time asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Charlotte is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Naomi Lapaglia
Start here. The Wolf of Wall Street is the clearest statement of what Margot Robbie does — accessible, 180 minutes, and rated 8.3 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Margot 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.
About Time (2013)
Keeps the drama register of The Wolf of Wall Street but asks for a colder reading of it.
I, Tonya (2017)
Keeps the drama register of About Time but asks for a colder reading of it.
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)
Keeps the comedy register of I, Tonya but asks for a colder reading of it.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Keeps the comedy register of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
About Time
as Charlotte
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
About Time
as Charlotte
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 Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Asteroid City
as The Actress / Wife
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
The Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
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. Margot Robbie has known it for a long time.”

Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
The Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
The Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
"Wuthering Heights"
as Cathy
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
Amsterdam
as Valerie Voze
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
The Suicide Squad
as Harley Quinn
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
The Suicide Squad
as Harley Quinn
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
The Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
The Wolf of Wall Street
as Naomi Lapaglia
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
