This Vicious, Horrific Civil War-Set Western Is One of Hailee Steinfeld’s Best Performances

For fifteen years, actress Hailee Steinfeld has proven herself to be one of the most gifted performers of her generation, embodying a plethora of complex characters—expressing her versatility with each role she takes on. While she has turned in incredible work in contemporary films and series such as 2016's coming-of-age dramedy, The Edge of Seventeen, and Marvel's Hawkeye, she has shown a particular knack for period pieces. Steinfeld received her big break with her Oscar-nominated role in the Coen Brothers' remake of True Grit, released in 2010, and has since excelled in the space of period pieces, even leading her own Apple TV series, Dickinson, which followed the exploits of poet Emily Dickinson in 19th-century America.
