Can we talk about Sophie okonedo playing two powerful women brought down by their own hubris and high handedness and how she's played them so diametrically differently.
Fucking masterclass.
The costuming is also wildly different. Ingrid's modern, narrow silhouette, Siuan's soft and flowing femininity. The difference between a powerful women in (our) a world that despises feminine coding and one that celebrates it.
The slim lack of taking up space of Ingrid vs Siuans big dresses. (And there's another post about powerful white ladies and the parallels between Moraines big skirts and Diana Taverners same and how our knowledge of rich white European lady fashion and skirts-taking-up-space has influenced costumers when dressing upperclass white British ladies. And how WOC don't get access to that.)
But Okonedo oh my god. The hard coldness of Tierney's face. The immovable glacial statue of it. The vicious satisfaction that leaks out. Vs the ravages of Siuans face. The sorrow the exhaustion the pure humanity that shines out of her.
These two women. So similar, such similar behaviours and similar mistakes. And yet so wildly different. Honestly Okonedo is a gift. We are not worthy
