In Awe of Eva Green on "Penny Dreadful"

Eva Green is again at the top of her game in an episode of Penny Dreadful that showcases fine deftness of her acting and its staggering depth, as we get another piece of Vanessa's tortured past — this time her incarceration in the mental hospital. A bottle episode that feels not only claustrophobic in the best possible sense but also forward-moving, even as it looks backward. Green manages to be catatonic, savage, guileless, beatific, and predator and prey in all the same scene. It's a performance of extremes and Green exerts a magnetic pull on the viewer in every second of the episode.

Remind me again why she's not won any awards for her incredible turn as Vanessa Ives?
