Domhnall Gleeson – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 13, 2026

Domhnall Gleeson has quietly built one of the more eclectic resumes of his generation, a Star Wars villain, a time-travelling romantic lead, an android’s creator, often in the same year. Frank has him joining an eccentric band whose singer never removes a giant fake head, Goodbye Christopher Robin shows the real boy behind Winnie the Pooh resenting the fame, Peter Rabbit brings romance to a farmer feud, and The Last Jedi is the divisive middle chapter. About Time, Ex Machina, Brooklyn and The Revenant round out the list.
