Dune Review Round Up | Venice International Film Festival

“… equally important mother Lady Jessica, a warrior priestess played winningly by Rebecca Ferguson.” “Chalamet, playing it earnestly and effectively, is perfectly cast here, and both Ferguson and Isaac are excellent.” (x)

“Ferguson, too, is no slouch, bringing the fully rounded anxieties of motherhood to a role that is key to the book.“ (x)

“He’s also complemented by Ferguson’s intriguing Lady Jessica, an aloof presence who deserves more floor space should Villeneuve ever finish adapting the novel.” (x)

“Chalamet plays the conflicted lead well, but he’s outclassed by Ferguson, whose Lady Jessica has years of maternal worry etched into her every expression.” (x)

“Rebecca Ferguson both enigmatic and fierce as Jessica, Paul’s mother…” (x)

“But Paul’s most important mentor is his mother, Lady Jessica (a superb Rebecca Ferguson)…” “… Ferguson’s forceful presence in the expanded role of Lady Jessica is one example.” (x)

“The most dynamic range comes from Ferguson as the conflicted Atreides matriarch, embodying the emotional turmoil of a character who’s both impassioned mother and scheming zealot.“ (x)

“Ferguson gives a wrenching performance as Paul faces a bone-crunching test in an early reel…” (x)

“Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac are the triumvirate that lead the cast, and they are all phenomenal… Ferguson’s Lady Jessica emotionally torn in her loyalties…” (x)

“But the biggest standouts here are the women…Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica…Lady Jessica is the heart and soul of Dune, and Ferguson imbues her with such quiet strength and grace, and is so arresting to watch, that you almost wish it were her origin story. If there’s one award-worthy performance in the film, it’s hers.” (x)

“She’s a mother, she’s a concubine, she’s a soldier… Denis was very respectful of Frank’s work in the book, [but] the quality of the arcs for much of the women have been brought up to a new level. There were some shifts he did, and they are beautifully portrayed now.” - Rebecca Ferguson on Lady Jessica and female characters in Dune

“Ah, Arya. You have a wildness in you, child. ‘The wolf blood,’ my father used to call it. Lyanna had a touch of it, and my brother Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave.” Arya heard sadness in his voice; he did not often speak of his father, or of the brother and sister who had died before she was born. “Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it. You remind me of her sometimes. You even look like her.”

- A Game of Thrones, Arya II

REVIEW ROUND UP OF MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT

“Ilsa Faust, played by Rebecca Ferguson. Ferguson was such a standout in the last movie, it almost feels like McQuarrie developed his layered, intricate script just as an excuse to bring her back.” (x)

“And then you have Rebecca Ferguson, who once again steals nearly every scene she is in. The chemistry between her and Cruise is simply fantastic.” (x)

“Ferguson is (again) great fun, as the movie smartly gives Ilsa her own agenda that prevents her from turning into a tag-along girl.” (x)

“The women in Fallout bring a lot to the table. I can’t tell you how happy I was when I read that Rebecca Ferguson was returning to the franchise. Ferguson’s IIsa Faust is such a badass character that owns the screen every second that she is on it. Ferguson gets a lot of screentime, and her character plays a major role as to how Ethan’s story unfolds. I don’t want to give anything away, but fans of IIsa Faust will be happy with how the story uses her in this entry.” (x)

“Cruise doesn’t do love scenes, but as his nominal soul mate, Ferguson is as sleek and wittily self-contained as in Rogue Nation, which made her a star. She upstages everyone in the movie, possibly in the universe.“ (x)

“And the supporting cast is uniformly strong, especially… Rebecca Ferguson, who has the screen charisma of someone who really should be a superstar by now. Let’s make that happen.” (x)

“I’m not sure there’s another actor on the screen like Ferguson… Give her an Oscar. And more roles, please. I will watch her in anything.” (x)

“Ilsa could command her own set of movies, divorced from the M: I mythos, and they’d probably be just as captivating as when Ferguson’s working with this team of talented performers… There’s something to be said about jumping into a series this late in its existence and being able to command not only our attention, but favoritism the way Ferguson does. She’s unbelievable.” (x)

“One of the most welcome returns is that of Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust and it’s to her credit that, two movies in, you still get sucked into her shady games and have no idea if she’s trustworthy.” (x)

“Also back is Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, who is still a total scene stealer (if Cruise ever does quit this franchise, Ferguson should inherit it).” (x)

“Likewise, Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust once again proves why she’s the best female character the franchise has had and a true match for Ethan Hunt, who she’s back to being at odds with for a good part of the movie.” (x)
