Lorna Houlihan

Lorna Houlihan’s filmography is, honestly, pretty wild if you think about it. She’s got her name attached to a couple of the biggest, most talked-about films of the last few years—Enola Holmes, Barbie, and Yesterday. That’s not exactly a “blink and you’ll miss it” list, right? Each movie is totally different, too. Enola Holmes? You’ve got this quirky, clever twist on the Sherlock Holmes universe, but it’s all through the eyes of his much-younger sister, and Lorna’s work just fits right into that whole energetic, mysterious vibe. Then you jump over to Barbie (yeah, that Barbie), and the whole thing’s just a bright, pastel-colored fever dream—satirical and sharp, but also weirdly heartfelt. Lorna’s touch there? Not subtle, but that’s kinda the point. Yesterday, though, that’s a totally different beast. You’ve got this world where suddenly nobody remembers the Beatles—except one guy, and he’s just trying to figure out what to do with the world’s greatest songbook. The movie’s a little bit magical, a little bit funny, and honestly, kind of bittersweet. Lorna’s involvement weaves in this layer of charm that just keeps things from getting too heavy or too silly. She’s not one of those blink-and-miss types; when she’s in a project, you feel it. The range is nuts—from British sleuths to plastic fantastic dreamscapes, to “what if the Beatles never existed” musical chaos. There’s not much she can’t do, honestly.
