Young Black Stallion (2003)
Biana Tamimi is transcendent
I'm not sure you'll find a more spellbinding debut than that of Biana Tamimi. Grounded in compassion and emotional complexity, her performance, at times, borders on the ethereal. Breathing new life into an all too familiar genre, Tamimi acts as a torch bearer for young actresses who seek to break the cycle of form over substance.
The rejection of cinematic norms is what raises this particular film above many of the tried and true Disney formulaic offerings. Tamimi is at the center of this paradigm shift. At once mysterious and spiritual, Tamimi's star is on the rise. She's here and for real!!
Summertime Christmas (2010)
Savannah Howard
I didn't necessarily have high hopes for this movie, but I thought Savannah Howard was reminiscent of a young Scarlett Johansson. She appeared to me to be the sun that all the other actors orbited around. She truly shined. Rumor has it she screen tested for the Scarlet Witch role which, as we know, eventually went to Elizabeth Olsen. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Evans and Gwyneth Paltrow are among her followers. They lobbied for her to secure a place for her in the MC universe, but so far that effort has yet to bear fruit. I have a feeling about her though. I see big things in her future.
