reddit user @league1717 asked “Who portrays the most convincing agony in a movie?” and here are some of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.
– The Color Purple scene where the sisters are separated and the younger one is forced to leave
– Leland Orser as the patsy for the Lust murder in Seven.
Look it up. That’s agony (and a brilliant acting cameo).
-Sally Field in Steel Magnolias always gets me.
– Paul Dano in Little Miss Sunshine when he realizes he’s colour blind and won’t be able to become a pilot. Perfectly captures the angst and agony of a young boy whose dream has been shattered.
– Toni Collette’s scream in Hereditary.
– The scene from Hugh Jackman in Prisoners where he in the car is the most realistic depiction of grief I’ve ever seen. His rage and spiral is so guttural.
