“The movies have dashed the hopes of many a TV actor with big screen aspirations, and a recent unacceptable casualty among their number is Emilia Clarke. Somehow, someway, Clarke–one of the centermost cogs in HBO’s Game of Thrones–has struggled to find film roles befitting of her diverse talents. Whether thoughtlessly cast as femme fatales (Solo: A Star Wars Story), take-no-shit action heroes (Terminator Genisys), or walking disasters (Last Christmas), Clarke has had few opportunities to play whole people in movies, and even fewer than that to unlock her wildly underused anxious dork energy.
