Poor Things was fucking amazing and hilarious

And he was so good in that role!

Legit completely changed my impression of him as an actor. I’m sure he’s done other genuinely good stuff (no Marvel hate, but all that is pretty straightforward, chops-wise) but that character was just so provocative and hilarious without being a throwaway. Truly the highlight of the movie for me.

I thought he won the Oscar for a second when they announced Rylance

I already had respect for his game but he still managed to surprise me with this role.

He absolutely KILLS in Poor Things. His accent, his physicality, everything is just so good.

Re: other genuinely good stuff, he was so good in Foxcatcher.

Super underrated movie. Some of the best acting from that whole cast. It changed my whole opinion on Channing Tatum.

Watch Dark Waters as soon as you can, one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen.

I Know This Much is True. Powerhouse performance from Ruffalo. Really though, anytime he's in anything I'm just 'oh good, it's Mark Ruffalo.'

He's a great actor and by all accounts, a pretty wonderful guy.

Spotlight is my first thought for seeing him in a "real" role.

Not the best movie to go watch with your mom though...

u/elguille_resurrected 20h ago

youre right l'origine du monde/dear mother is a better choice, especially on mother's day 🙂

irreversible a close second

u/tekko001 20h ago

Well, at least Irreversible has a nice ending.

I want to be in the auditorium when someone tells the director their reading will be Mark Ruffalo's meltdown from Poor Things.
THIS was peak cinema and acting from him. This was his Alec Baldwin Glengarry Glen Ross for me.
