If you love the Golden Globe-winning actress, we’ve got you covered with a definitive guide to the best Anya Taylor-Joy movies and all the options to stream them.
Which Anya Taylor-Joy movies should I watch first?
Anya Taylor-Joy has dabbled in many genres in her screen career but her forte has always been horror. Her debut film The Witch was a major revelation for both her acting and Robert Eggers’ direction. Set in the midst of a medieval plague, the slow-burning supernatural horror is a good first film to watch for those who are just discovering the actress.
Other equally impressive horrors to watch include Edgar Wright’s stylish time-traveling London horror Last Night In Soho, the culinary thriller The Menu, and M. Night Shyamalan’s dissociative identity disorder-centric psychological drama Split (and its sequel Glass).
Her other genre projects include The Northman, a Viking revenge saga that featured her as a mysterious oracle, and Furiosa, a Mad Max prequel that paired her alongside Chris Hemsworth in the dystopian desert world of the franchise. Taylor-Joy was equally impressive playing the titular spoilt, rich matchmaker in Emma (an adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel).
When it comes to her involvement with big-budget franchises like Mad Max, she has also been involved in the Dune movies. While her appearance as Timothée Chalamet’s on-screen sister Alia was a brief cameo in Dune: Part Two, her role will be more significant in the sequels.
Taylor-Joy has also made her mark in television and streaming. The TV shows that you should watch right away include the Netflix miniseries The Queen’s Gambit and the British crime drama Peaky Blinders. In the former, Taylor-Joy starred as an ambitious chess-player in a sporting world dominated by men. The actress drew immense praise and won her a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award. In Peaky Blinders, she appeared in the latter seasons as the manipulative antiheroine Gina Gray.
If you wish to watch some of her animation credits, Taylor-Joy also voiced the bold warrior Princess Peach in The Super Mario Bros. Movie and one of the elvish heroes in the Netflix animated series The Dark Crystals: Age of Resistance.
Why is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga the best Anya Taylor-Joy movie to watch?
Larger-than-life practical effects. Lore from a franchise that has still not run out of fuel. Thrilling car stunts. Australian director George Miller's expertise over his craft. And, of course, a dramatic lead performance by Anya Taylor-Joy makes Furiosa her best movie to watch. The actress balances gritty, dystopian action with an emotional portrayal of a girl who's torn from her family only to become an unlikely rebel. When it comes to Anya Taylor-Joy’s lead roles, this summer blockbuster offers her best.
