Every Timothée Chalamet Movie, Ranked
Dune not only feels like a natural progression for Chalamet’s career, but a necessary addition to his filmography. For years, he’s played young adult and teen characters of all sorts, and Dune feels like his foray into something truly grand. As the lead in this sci-fi epic, Chalamet shines. And flanked by other notable actors (Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista), Chalamet’s performance feels on par with the rest of them. When his character, Paul Atreides, shows doubt, fear, or trepidation, you see it in Chalamet’s face, and you hear it when he speaks. Great acting means falling into a character so well the audience suspends disbelief; when Chalamet is on screen, it's clear that there's no one better suited to play Paul Atreides. —MP
