Mulligan, known for her work in The Dig, The Great Gatsby, Wildlife, and many other films, is the latest actor slated to be recognized at this year s event.
Mulligan s remarkable career and recent performance in Promising Young Woman makes her a standout for the 2021 SBIFF Cinema Vanguard Award. I saw Mulligan on stage in 2008 in The Seagull she was such a magnetic combination of fearlessness and vulnerability there, and she continues to instill awe in all of us. She delivers her best work so far in Promising Young Woman. states SBIFF s Executive Director Roger Durling.
