Anna Kendrick – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 24, 2026

Pitch Perfect made her a household name, but Up in the Air is sharper and completely believable next to George Clooney. A Simple Favor splits the difference between musical-comedy lead and grounded dramatic actor, Drinking Buddies has a brewery employee whose close friendship complicates things, and Alice, Darling follows a woman recognising psychological abuse. Into the Woods, End of Watch, Pitch Perfect 2 and Twilight round out the list, with Love Life on TV.
