Elizabeth Olsen – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 29, 2026

WandaVision finally let Elizabeth Olsen carry a story on her own terms, Martha Marcy May Marlene is the one to watch if you only know her from Marvel, and Wind River shows the same restrained, internal style in a different genre. Sorry for Your Loss has her as a young widow processing sudden grief, Love & Death retells a real small-town scandal and murder, I Saw the Light makes her Hank Williams’s wife, and Ingrid Goes West exposes a curated social media life. Godzilla and Avengers: Age of Ultron round out the list.
