Jacob Elordi Gives One of His Best Performances in This Bittersweet New-to-Netflix Romantic Drama

From the cold-blooded Nate Jacobs in Euphoriato his BAFTA-nominated role in Saltburn, Jacob Elordihas come a long way since The Kissing Booth series. As he continues to prove himself as a well-rounded actor, when it was announced that Elordi would be replacing Andrew Garfieldas Frankenstein’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming film, many were curious to see how one of Hollywood’s latest heartthrobs would tackle such an iconic role. As we wait to see Elordi’s full transformation in Frankenstein, which hits select theaters in October and Netflix in November, you can catch one of his best recent performances in On Swift Horses, which just landed on Netflix. Based on Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel of the same name, On Swift Horses shows Elordi at his most vulnerable as Julius, a Korean War veteran trying to make a life for himself in post-war America. Starring alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, Will Poulter, and Diego Calva, nothing is more reflective of Elordi’s evolution than his career-best performance in this bittersweet romantic drama.
