Sophie Okonedo Steals the Show in "Ratched"

 

by John Zenoni



Every so often I will watch a movie or series and while the overall show might be good, there is a performance that absolutely stands out and deserves attention. In this particular case, I have to mention actor Sophie Okonedo, who portrays Charlotte Wells, a patient with multiple personalities in the Netflix series, ‘Ratched.’ The series itself is hard to watch and can be disturbing but this woman's performance is absolutely amazing and is definitely worthy of award recognition. I don’t think I've seen anyone switch personalities with the force that she does in this type role since Sally Field, in her amazing, award winning performance in ‘Sybil.’ This is a must see tour de force that I hope gets her more recognition than she already has. She was also amazing in the film, ‘Hotel Rwanda’, and this latest performance should guarantee her many more roles in the future.
