For years, actress-filmmaker Elizabeth Banks has been one of the screen's most reliably hilarious presences, from her scene-stealing turns in ensemble comedies like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Wet Hot American Summer" to her starring roles in funny flicks like "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" and "Walk of Shame." And that list is set to continue with Banks's newest project, Peacock's "The Miniature Wife," playing a woman whose scientist husband (Matthew Macfadyen) accidentally shrinks her to six inches high.
But the arrival of that new comedy series (which premieres on April 9) had us thinking about one of our favorite Elizabeth Banks roles, in the darkly funny 2024 thriller "Skincare," which you can stream now on Hulu. In the Austin Peters-directed "sunshine noir," Banks plays a Hollywood aesthetician whose life and career begin to unravel amid professional jealousy.
