Something very positive from 2018 was how many fantastic roles in film we had for women, this list was extremely difficult to put together this year as I certainly had a lot to choose from! That can obviously only be a very good thing in my opinion.
Here are the 25 performances that made it onto my list . . .
16. Claire Foy - Unsane ( Review)
I truly outstanding performance from Foy as a woman who is losing her mind and placed in a mental institute when she admits to suicidal thoughts after being stalked. But is her stalker actually working there?
9. Sally Hawkins - The Shape of Water ( Review)
Playing a mute character must be a tough ask for any actor, but Hawkins totally nails it in this film and makes it such a watch from start to finish. This was my film of the year and Hawkins plays a huge part in why. What female performances were your favourite in 2018?
