Saoirse Ronan has been making her mark on the silver screen since she was 13, and has the Academy Award nominations to show for it.

Here are some of her best roles to date:

BLITZ (2024)

Told through the eyes of a child during the events of the London bombing in World War II, Ronan’s performance in the Steve McQueen film is compelling.

LITTLE WOMEN (2019)
