I’m inclined to be a little possessive, re: Sydney Sweeney. Until recently, lots of people had no idea who she was. Now she’s the talk of the town and, though it’s clearly time to share nicely, it’s hard not to think, “I loved her first!”
The 25 year old actress has blue eyes bigger than Tweetie Pie’s, but there’s not a cartoonish bone in her body. Gob-smackingly versatile in iconic TV shows (a multi-layered bitch in The White Lotus; an angsty cheerleader in Euphoria) she surpasses herself in the summer’s must-see movie, a portrait of a young whistle-blower based on an FBI transcript, but which often plays like a black comedy written by Chris Morris or Tina Fey.
