Hello, I'll be doing this review. The article looks pretty good, so hopefully this will be a straightforward process. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 15:06, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Here everything I would recommend changing:

• It might be helpful to link the mention of Dostoyevsky.
  •  Done. Coconutyou3 (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• She was inspired to pursue film acting after watching The Hunt, and has cited filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg as her biggest influence alongside Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman. — Maybe reword it; right now it's a little unclear if Vinterberg was more or equally influential to her than the three actresses.
  •  Done. Rephrased and replaced them with other filmmakers per her interview for The Independent. Coconutyou3 (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• It might be a good idea to separate Public image and Personal life.
  •  Done. Coconutyou3 (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• Very little is said about her personal life. If you really can't find anything else, then that's fine, of course, but see if there's something you could add.
  • There's not much information about her personal life besides the fact that she currently resides in LA, which is already mentioned in the Early life and education section anyway so I've removed it from Public image and personal life. Coconutyou3 (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• Normally Awards and nominations is done as a table, rather than prose. Also, the last sentence, "Her other accolades include numerous critics association and film festival awards", is very weasel word-y and doesn't have a citation.
  • A separate article about her accolades exists which is why there's a summary-style paragraph instead of a table, similarly to other GAs. There was no reference in the last sentence because it linked to said article but I've removed it now. Coconutyou3 (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, it all looks good. If you want to readd the last sentence then that's your call. It definitely meets all the GA criteria, so I passed it. Congratulations. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
