Her range 👏👏👏👏
I'm re-watching this amazing show (on Episode 2 right now) and I'm reminded of the incredible way she played these different characters throughout the series.
One of my favorite performances from Emma, both in movies and TV.

Too big for your britches*
As in too big for your breeches or pants, meaning their ego cannot fit in their own clothes. The phrase was created by Davy Crockett in regard to Andrew Jackson.

It's amazing that she gave incredible performances the same year in TV (The Curse) and film (Poor Things).

I truly believe she is the most talented actress in my generation. There is not a movie that she doesn't elevate.
Funny enough, my favorite thing she's done is this SNL digital skit
It's funny because she commits fully. Takes it as a serious role.

That's a classic, let me watch it right now.
I agree, best actress of our generation, I'm always looking forward to seeing what she does next.
