Robert Pattinson first made a global-scale splash as the tragically-fated Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, before utterly dominating the cultural conversation in the Twilight franchise as broodingly romantic vampire Edward Cullen. This role made Pattinson a superstar, regular tabloid fodder, and the subject of lots of pop culture ridicule. For a man who's objectively one of our biggest acting superstars, Pattinson's choices reveal a purposeful lack of ego. He'll take a leading role, sure, but he's just as comfortable as a committed, supporting character actor — and if he looks foolish, idiotic, or out of his depth, all the better.

Since Twilight, Pattinson has stretched himself in a series of eclectic and eccentric films with a series of eclectic and eccentric directors. With the exceptions of the recent Tenet and The Batman, he's avoided big-budget blockbuster fare, preferring a slate of independent passion projects that seem designed to circumvent any kind of mass appeal. Some actors might rewrite scripts to make them look better; Pattinson seems determined to do the opposite. With rumors of his upcoming film with Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, Mickey 17, premiering at this year's Cannes, Pattinson is gearing up to head back to his indie sensibilities after taking a superhero detour. These performances reflect one of the most interesting and exciting actors working today.

15 The King

The King is an exemplary case in point as to how dynamic and watchable Pattinson is as a performer. The Netflix drama, starring Timothée Chalamet as a young king in a retelling of William Shakespeare's various historical plays regarding King Henry, largely plods through its standard "kings and knights, swords and power grabs" plottings without much else to say about the genre. If you're into that kind of thing communicated as plainly as possible, you'll be decently along for the ride; if you, like me, tend to find that kind of thing trite without anything new to say, you'll be checking your clock throughout.

And then, Pattinson shows up. And my attention was rapidly piqued. Whereas everyone else in the picture gives a standard "grumbling, impassioned English accent" kind of performance, Pattinson plays Louis, The Dauphin of France with unbridled, eccentric, effete, and egoless glee. This man is a true idiot who believes, deep in his soul, that he is wonderful, and Pattinson is wise enough as a performer to believe in his power, but canny enough to let us see just how laughably idiotic he is. His shoulders hunched, his hands making constrained gestures, his voice pitched forward and up — Pattinson's Dauphin folds in on itself 19 times over, resulting in an unusually sharpened dullard. He enters the film with an all-time line reading (it has to do with balls, and that's all I'll say) and he exits the film with an all-time piece of physical comedy (it has to do with mud, and that's all I'll say), and every single other frame of the film lags. That's the power of Pattinson.

14 The Devil All the Time

Robert Pattinson - The Devil All the Time
Image via Netflix

In some ways a spiritual sibling to The King, The Devil All the Time also plods through its genre trappings without any sense of nuance or interest beyond the surface. If you want to watch "a bunch of men behaving terribly with Southern accents," by God, The Devil All the Time is going to give you that over and over and over again, to the point of self-parody, with only the shallowest of psychological examinations of why humans might engage in such deviant behavior.

And then, once again, Pattinson shows up. And his gift to cut through clutter is noticed, appreciated, and magnified. As Reverend Preston Teagardin, Pattinson is maybe the third "evil Southern preacher" we see show up in the film (seriously), but he's the only one whom I have an understanding of beyond the blunt text. No matter what superficial rattlings of "power" sociopathic sinners may present, their insides are rotting, and that rot can't help but poke its way through the skin in curious ways. Pattinson seems to be the only performer who understands this, contorting his body in discomfiting angles, once again placing his voice in a higher-pitched, more effete register, trying desperately to prove that he deserves power despite, like, every single physical facet about him, and largely succeeding. Even as his character engages in the film's requisite terrible behaviors, you can't stop watching him — and it's largely because you feel like you actually understand him.

13 Life

LifeRobertPattinson (1)
Image via Cinedigm

The third, and most successful, example of "Pattinson fighting against the limitations of the film" is Life, a biographical drama about the curious friendship that develops between photographer Dennis Stock (Pattinson) and burgeoning icon James Dean (Dane DeHaan, yikes). Pattinson, in a theme we'll see in many of his best performances, plays Stock (and, arguably, the entire art of photography) as an inherently uncomfortable observer outside the margins of how "regular humans" behave, using the lens as both invasive weapon and agency-seeking shield. In an impressive, fast-talking New York accent (watching him and Joel Edgerton trade barbs in this accent is a sincere pleasure) that's constantly choked on its own lack of communicative efficiency, Pattinson does his best to get after his character's wants, while understanding that some barriers, despite the illusion of visibility, will remain opaque.

Now, obviously, this is Pattinson's story, right? We're centered on him, James Dean is his catalyzing agent, and he learns something about himself, right? Wrong. Director Anton Corbijn and screenwriter Luke Davies make the unfortunate mistake of splitting the central focus between him and DeHaan as Dean. The story is just as much about Dean's struggles as Stock's, all to its detriment. As Davies writes him, Dean is inherently a passive character, a man who reacts to chaos around him with a sense of bemused detachment. Why would I want to watch this so much? Isn't Stock, who has clear and active wants at every corner, the more obvious protagonist? The film doesn't seem to know this, and every time Pattinson leaves the frame, so to does its effectiveness.

12 The Childhood of a Leader

IFC Films

The Childhood of a Leader, the directorial debut of fellow "odd leading man" Brady Corbet, is a stirring example of how egoless Pattinson is as a performer, how eager he is to give himself up wholly to his filmmaker's vision. As Charles Marker, a friend (or more?) to the mother (Bérénice Bejo) of a dictator in the making (Tom Sweet), Pattinson is often literally in the periphery of the film. Corbet and his DP Lol Crawley have a highly specific, immaculate visual language for the film, which often results in long takes framed singularly on one character, whether they're talking or not. As such, Pattinson is more often than not in two or three-shots, pushed into the side, shrouded in darkness even as he commands a room with his casual friendliness or billiards trick shots. But because Pattinson is so eager to be an ensemble player, so eager to give his director whatever they need, his performance seeps over you effortlessly, allowing you to notice the smallest tics and tells as part of the film's appealing overall tapestry (especially a scene where we walk in on Pattinson and Bejo having a fraught conversation, Pattinson allowing us to see just a touch of fear in being caught).

11 The Haunted Airman

the-haunted-airman-robert-pattinson (1)
BBC 4

Before Twilight, Pattinson was a working actor in England, occasionally booking roles in prestige British television made-for-TV movies. One of these films, originally airing on BBC Four in 2006, is The Haunted Airman, which plays a little like Shutter Island with a particularly English sense of repression and reckoning. Airing when Pattinson was only 20 years old, the young thespian sidesteps his youthful allure with an aggressively patient performance. His haunted airman is in a strange, spooky military hospital as a result, feels like a melancholy ghost from frame one, unwilling and unwanting to jump into his traumas nor the eerie things that keep happening to him, seemingly content to let the world drift by him (comparing this to Leonardo DiCaprio's beyond-active Shutter Island protagonist is quite the exercise).

And I know what you're saying. "Didn't you criticize Life for centering too much on an inactive protagonist?" Here's where Pattinson's patience pays off, resulting in an explosive conclusion to an arc I wasn't aware Pattinson was building until it happened. More and more horrors pile up upon his head, some of which are supernatural, some of which are human-made (i.e. his sexually deviant relationship with a woman he lovingly calls his Aunt). And when Pattinson begins to turn the screws and give in to these woes, it results in explosive gothic horror tragedy bolstered by Pattinson's previous patience — all under 70 minutes! It's not hard to watch The Haunted Airman and immediately want to put Pattinson in as many films as possible; it remains a uniquely, carefully crafted breakout role.

The Haunted Airman is not available on streaming.

10 10. Tenet

Robert Pattinson Tenet

Despite its purposefully knotted time trickery and intentionally caked-on seriousness, Tenet is, at its big ol’ heart, a very sweet and sincere movie. If you need more proof of this, don’t look at any of the backward action sequences, references to the Sator Square, or cockney grumblings of a “temporal pincer.” Look at Robert Pattinson.

While John David Washington is constantly hunched forward, on the attack, and highly physical, Pattinson’s sidekick character is much more laconic, easy-going, and effortless even in his most aggressive action sequences. His upper-class English dialect lilts over the deep-voiced gravel of the rest of the piece, earning our attention without asking for it. Pattinson is, simply, having fun making this movie with his friends — and that idea isn’t just me being cheeky. “Friendship” is a huge arc of the film, and Pattinson is our key conduit to this idea. He’s introduced getting Washington’s drink order exactly correct, and he leaves making Washington cry with the power of their simple brotherly love, no matter how out of order it was told. Pattinson’s work here is sappy, silly, simple, and the secret point of Christopher Nolan’s piece of divisive blockbuster tomfoolery.

9 9. Water for Elephants

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants
Image via 20th Century Fox

In a true and just world, Water for Elephants would've been the vehicle that established Pattinson as a bankable romantic lead, instead of the vehicle that came as a result of it. Water for Elephants is an unabashedly old-fashioned, heartstring-tugging, handsome-as-hell romance. Every single machination of Richard LaGravenese is designed to play its audience like a damn fiddle, to put Pattinson's character on a pedestal of emotional objectification. And I was simply delighted to be played every step of the way.

In the 1930s, Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, a Polish-American veterinarian student (swoon) who can no longer afford college because his parents die in an accident (double swoon), so he joins a traveling circus to take care of its animals in a new-fashioned, empathetic way (quadruple swoon). This circus is run by an abusive Christoph Waltz (boo!), who's married to its star, the heavenly Reese Witherspoon (yay!), and if you think Pattinson and Witherspoon are gonna fall in love and destroy Waltz with the power of said love while being nice to animals along the way, congratulations, you've seen a movie before!

Despite my snark, I loved this damn picture, falling for its "completely what it says it's gonna be" charms. And it proves that Pattinson's commitment to roles doesn't just fall under bizarro, purposefully inaccessible indie fare. He plays this old-fashioned romantic lead straight as an arrow, soaking up sympathy and admiration without an ounce of irony or winking. When he stares at Witherspoon with love, an elephant with mercy, or Waltz with pent-up rage, I'm there with him every step of the way. Unlike the controlling manipulations of, say, a sparkly vampire who likes stalking a random woman and threatening to eat her, Water for Elephants is a down-the-middle romantic Pattinson performance I can get behind and then some.

8 Cosmopolis

Eric Packer at a bar looking at someone in Cosmopolis
Image via Entertainment One

Cosmopolis comes from the imagination of that cerebral, flesh-obsessed director David Cronenberg, and in Pattinson, he finds a perfect vessel for his cyberpunk-leaning, detachedly misanthropic, casually surreal waking nightmares. Pattinson plays Eric Parker, just the worst tech-bro you can imagine, who tries to take a stretch limo across New York to get a haircut, and inadvertently plows his way through episodes of social unrest, anti-capitalist revolution, and personal revenge. Throughout this all (the majority of which does indeed take place in his insulated limo, shot with some iffy-potentially-on-purpose green screen), Pattinson evokes the chilling clinical observations of a college-educated tech genius who knows how much we're all doomed and has lost all sense of empathy as a result; and a kind of microscopic curiosity as to how his fellow specimens will react to unusual stimuli. If Patrick Bateman tried to put on a Mark Zuckerberg suit, you might have something like Pattinson's performance.

And yet, despite the inherent inhumanity of the picture, Pattinson doesn't feel undercooked or out of his element, or even apathetic in his depiction of apathy (charges I would unfortunately level at his second Cronenberg collaboration, Maps to the Stars). Technically, and even emotionally, the performance is beyond impressive. He makes Cronenberg's verbose, inhuman, pretentious poetry (lifted often verbatim from novelist Don DeLillo's source material) sing exactly the way it needs to sing, affecting a gruff New York accent to give it just a hint of bite beyond its affectless textual implications, filling every scene with a sense of palpable dread. You never know what Eric Parker is thinking or going to do next — even as you can tell just how much thought Pattinson has put into being so thoughtless.

7 The Rover

Image via Roadshow Films

In the relentlessly single-minded The Rover, a minimalist dystopian western-thriller that plays like — and I mean this as a sincere compliment — Mad Max meets Dude Where's My Car?, Pattinson shows up to give us a welcome wrinkle, showing again how adept he is at giving a film, and a scene partner, the foil they need to shine hard.

Guy Pearce, our titular rover, is sparse with word, quick with a gun, focused in desire ("Have you seen a car?" in an Australian accent will rattle through my brain for the rest of my life), and seemingly missing remorse. Thus, Pattinson gives us the inverse, a Southerner who's prone to jabbering, wracked with guilt and remorse at nearly every turn, unsure exactly of what he wants, and simply miserable with a gun in his hand. Pattinson makes his way into Pearce's plot by virtue of being Scoot McNairy's brother, a man who stole Pearce's car ("cah") before leaving Pattinson for dead; this precarious relationship just might make Pattinson the stealth protagonist of the picture. We watch him change from a man of naïve simplicity to a man hardened by burden, by the ruthless truth at how little the world cares. And Pattinson continues to care little about how the world views him, playing this role with viscerally upsetting prosthetic teeth, a borderline incomprehensible accent, and an uncritical simplicity in intelligence. He is, of course, magnetic, giving the film its heart and semi-conscience it so desperately needs.

6 Damsel

Robert Pattinson in Damsel (2018)
Image via Magnolia Pictures

Robert Pattinson's physicalizations and love of playing low-status-who-thinks-they're-high-status often yield performances that leave me cackling in laughter, giving me Jim Carrey energy. Nowhere is that more apparent than Damsel, an achingly, ruthlessly, aggressively silly and sharp comedy-western from The Zellner Brothers that plays — and I mean this as a sincere compliment — like There's Something About Mary in the Old West.

From the very first shot of Pattinson, where he square dances with Mia Wasikowska while looking straight at the camera with a dead-eyed attempt at positive enthusiasm, I couldn't stop laughing at him. His Samuel Alabaster, as ineffectual an Old West cowboy as his name embodies, is so, so stupid, but continues to act with such single-minded purpose and, importantly, self-confidence in his lack of confidence. He tells tons of more traditionally tough, masculine Old West cowboys about his journey to reunite with and propose to his love Penelope (Wasikowska); when they make fun of him (because, sincerely, there's nothing else you can reasonably do with Pattinson's character), he tends to join them or speak plainly about why he's the "medium-sized" Adam's apple he knows himself to be. His "dog with blinders" energy of finding his love, no matter what it takes, makes the character relentlessly endearing, even as Pattinson obviously couldn't be bothered to make himself seem endearing.

And then, about halfway through the film, Damsel does something very interesting to Pattinson. I won't spoil it here, but I'll say it changes what we've seen before, the focus of the film after, and recontextualizes the film's title itself. It's a genius move on the Zellners, even as it inherently shifts the focus away from Pattinson toward a broader point in general, revealing Pattinson's appearance as merely a tool in their satirical purview. Frankly, that just gives me more awe regarding Pattinson's work, and his willingness as a performer to do whatever it takes to communicate his director's intentions.

5 Good Time

Pattinson's work in Good Time is akin to a nuclear missile being fired at a faraway target. As we speed closer and closer, we see just how painful the target will be, especially as we suffer through the pain of the windburn along the way, especially as we come to a moral reckoning about the ends-justifying means of the missile in the first place. It's relentless, nervy, fear-inducing, aggravating, and terrifying. It's a radical deconstruction of the "gritty white male antihero," a Funny Games-on-Mountain-Dew chastising of the audience for being willing to align ourselves with such a despicable figure and plunging us further into the depths of depravity to see how committed our alignment can be. Pattinson does things in this film that scar my brain to this day. Pattinson is not our protagonist, even though we spend every second face-first with him. He doesn't change or come to any realization about his goal. He just burrows deeper within himself, no matter how ugly that self is. He just "goes," and can not, will not stop until a stronger force makes him. It's a once-in-a-lifetime performance you cannot look away from.

4 The Lighthouse

Ephraim Winslow and Thomas Wake looking at the camera in 'The Lighthouse'

Willem Dafoe may have the showier role, wilder dialect, and more memeable components of Robert Eggers' uniquely psychotic chamber fever dream The Lighthouse. But Pattinson is our protagonist, our entry point into this squashed, black-and-white, oceanside cabin of horrors. Not unlike his previous Haunted Airman, Pattinson's Winslow comes to the start of this picture haunted by trauma and insistent on ignoring it. He spends much of the front end as a reactor to Dafoe's unglued-from-the-jump behaviors, acquiescing to his peculiar manners of speaking, lack of empathy, and parking of orders. Winslow doesn't say much, and he shouldn't. And Pattinson, thankfully, doesn't need to gussy up the more physical, head-down, "blanker" elements of the performance. As usual, he trusts what the text, vision, and overall needs of the piece need from him, no ego necessary.

But when he does start gussying up, batten the hatches, ye scurvy sea dogs. Winslow (or should I say "Winslow") falls right into Dafoe's warnings of falling into madness, of hallucinating sea creatures, of *gulp* killing a seagull. And he descends into an embrace of the id, an amplification of everything we try desperately to keep buried down, and utter defeat at the uncaring whims of nature. Pattinson's turn into this maniacally pitched, borderline slapstick mode of impressionistic performance (like the rest of the film's production style, ironically in dialogue with classic silent cinema) is a jaw-dropping one to witness, both seamless and show-offy. It's one of the most satisfying arcs I've seen Pattinson do, a relentless fusion of all of his tics and strengths with a screenplay and directing style eager to frame it all exceptionally.

3 How to Be

how-to-be-robert-pattinson (1)
IFC Films

How to Be is a strikingly confident indie dramedy about being the least confident human alive. It is the Lighthouse of Garden States, the Rover of 500 Days of Summers; both the platonic ideal of the "2000s indie-rock melancholy white boy dramedy," and a savagely ruthless deconstruction of its problematic tropes. Pattinson is, simply, stunning, striking bone in every decision. From his floppy hair to his predilection to wear the same dirty-ass winter coat to his inane friends dicking around in the basement to his iffy musical aspirations (Pattinson dumbing down his own real-life musical talent), I felt skewered by Pattinson's take on Art, the film's lead. Pattinson gets this particular brand of creative male teenage ennui perfectly, and is almost pathologically unwilling to romanticize it in any way. The elements of Pattinson's work I find the most watchable — his willingness to be pathetic, to be funny, to adapt wild accents and dialects naturally, to take advantage of his gangly stature, to be a passionate outsider who cannot fit in with society — are all here, and all disseminated like clockwork.

But it's not just a technical, headfirst performance. How to Be is such a triumph because, despite of Pattinson's need to show us every single flaw on every single surface of Art's exterior and interior lives, we still feel for him. Even root for him. And when Art gets to travel on his arc, trying to better himself, the journey is played with nuance and dynamics. The final moments of How to Be astonished me. Avoiding spoilers, they do involve a "win" of sorts for Art, but not the unbridled one you might see in another film like this. It feels, for lack of a better word, despite all of the "noticeable" aspects of Pattinson's performing style, "real". It's powerful in its relatably small status shift, and it's powerful because Pattinson refused to hold our hand at any step of the way.

2 The Batman

While there have been many actors that have played Bruce Wayne, Pattinson’s interpretation of Batman proved to be the novel reinvention that the character needed to remain relevant. Although he inherited the loneliness of Michael Keaton’s version and the brooding darkness of Christian Bale, Pattinson crafted an interpretation of the role that was entirely his own. Pattinson depicts the Dark Knight as a lonesome, tormented billionaire who takes out his rage on Gotham City’s criminal population, grueling himself as he stalks the streets of every knight.

While other interpretations of the character have exemplified his heroism, Pattinson made Batman scary, showing the all-consuming nature of his malevolent persona. It’s noteworthy that Pattinson was able to give such a subdued performance in a film with larger-than-life characters like the Penguin (Colin Farrell) and the Riddler (Paul Dano), but his dramatic sensitivity indicates that The Batman leaves a strong legacy behind as a modern comic book classic. — Liam Gaughan

1 High Life

Robert Pattinson as Monte wearing a space suit in 'High Life'.
Image via A24

One of Pattinson’s greatest attributes as a star is his willingness to select projects that are far outside any mainstream sensibilities. Claire Denis’ beguiling space opera High Life utilizes its science fiction premise to examine human sexuality and mankind’s inherent cruelty; it’s a highly experimental film that required Pattinson to commit to the idiosyncratic style. While a film as conceptually driven as High Life risked disorienting its audience, Pattinson ensures that there’s a beating, human heart at the center of the odd narrative. Set in the not-so-distant future, High Life focuses on Pattinson’s Monte, a criminal who takes part in a space voyage to the black hole. While the film’s nonlinear narrative structure raises more questions than it answers, Pattinson succeeds in generating sympathy for a character of checkered morality. It’s a largely physical role that required Pattinson to indicate subtle story shifts with his body language; it’s a truly magnificent performance that only an actor as versatile as Pattinson would have been capable of. — Liam Gaughan
