One celebrity I love watching is Alicia Vikander, the recipient of the 2016 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She usually appears in visually stunning films that carry substantial literary content. These recent productions, in which Vikander has played the starring role, are a feast for the eyes and intellect.
The Danish Girl In this award winning role, Vikander plays the spouse of Danish painter Einar Wegener. Her portrayal of acceptance, understanding and devotion - as her husband slowly reveals his true self - is awe-inspiring.
Ex Machina The future seems bright when Caleb wins a competition to intern with a famous tech-phenomenon and guru. But when he's assigned to subject Ava, a humanoid robot, to the Turing Test, his world turns upside down.
Tulip Fever, based off of Deborah Moggach's novel, takes place during the Tulip Wars in Amsterdam. Sophia, a peasant married into aristocracy, must make a hard decision when unrelenting sparks fly upon meeting the painter Jan van Loos.
Tomb Raider Paying homage to Angelina Jolie's previous roles as Lara Croft, Vikander brilliantly renders a fresh adventure story. As Croft grieves her father's death, she learns to become one of the strongest and smartest women in the world.
The Light Between Oceans, a drama based off of M.L. Stedman's book, chronicles the life of a lighthouse keeper and his wife. When a precious baby washes up on their desolate shore, they embark on an unforgettable journey with plenty of lessons in tow.
