Jodie Comer is probably the best actress working today. She commands you to pay attention to what she's saying, successfully forcing me to enjoy learning about legal terminology before tearing my heart out and branding it with the message of the story.

Greatest performance I have ever seen
Jodie Comer is the best actress ever.
How did this woman remember all the lines?? How did she perform this for two months?? How did she flawlessly switch between characters?
I was completely entranced by this.
Absolutely Jaw-dropping
Jodie Comer's performance is stunning, captivating and Oscar worthy. Though it is a one woman show, she switches between so many characters with such ease and class that is suspends the audience's disbelief fully. There was not a dry eye in the entire cinema by the end and I've personally still not fully processed just how hard hitting and emotional the message of Prima Facie is.
In Tessa's words, 'in the face of it, something has to change'. And it does. I cannot recommend watching it enough.
