2019 has been a fantastic year for female roles as I had 41 performances on my long list to cut down to make this top 25. I can only think that is an amazing way to notice the change in more interesting roles for females within film. I feel this list has a very good mixture of different types of roles across the different genres.

8. Scarlett Johansson - Jojo Rabbit ( Review)/Avengers: Endgame ( Review)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I've cheated a little bit with this one and combined two performances from Scarlett Johansson which were both very different. As the mother in Jojo Rabbit she was a joy to watch. Then the way she was in Avengers: Endgame was a joy to watch in a very different way after all of those years as Black Widow.
6. Florence Pugh - Fighting With My Family ( Review)
I used to love watching the wrestling and this film reminded me about that as we watched Paige and her rise from the UK to the WWE, allowing Florence Pugh to show off a totally different side to her acting ability. Her career so far has been excellent since Lady Macbeth her breakout role and I was very much looking forward to seeing her in this one and she does not disappoint.
2. Olivia Colman - The Favourite ( Review)
An Oscar winning performance from Olivia Colman and I have to confirm that she more than deserved that for her role in The Favourite. It is a totally crazy film and role and it makes for very entertaining viewing from start to finish, she carries the film in a fantastic manner. Which were your favourite female performances from 2019?
