Megan Northam

Megan Northam’s career isn’t exactly subtle—she’s got this wild knack for choosing roles that throw her into the middle of emotional chaos or quirky, offbeat stories. So, Rabia (2024)? That’s her latest power move. The film drops her into a world that’s gritty and tense, tapping into the raw, almost feral energy she brings to the screen. You watch her, and it’s like she’s got lightning bottled up inside. She makes you root for her, even when her character’s making messy, questionable decisions. Before that, there was Salade grecque (2023), which is less brooding and more about messy relationships, complicated friendships, and all the weirdness that comes with moving to a new city. Megan brings this stubborn-yet-vulnerable thing to her performance, letting the audience see all the cracks. It’s not just about the big dramatic moments—she nails the awkward silences and those little glances that say way more than words ever could. And then, there’s Miss Chazelles (2019). Talk about a coming-of-age punch to the gut. Megan’s character gets tossed into the drama of small-town pageantry, which sounds fluffy, but it’s actually loaded with tension and rivalry. She plays it so real you’re cringing for her one second, then cheering her on the next. There’s a rawness to her acting—like she’s not afraid to look ugly or desperate or foolish if that’s what the part needs. Long story short, Megan Northam’s filmography is a crash course in complicated women, the kind you don’t forget after the credits roll.
