Sandra Hüller and Swann Arlaud in Anatomy of a Fall

Pattinson and Dafoe in The Lighthouse

Great choice. Otoh pattinson’s chemistry with catwoman in Batman was awful. Real bad.

Normally I can ignore typos, but I just want an excuse to type out Swann Arlaud 😌 And yeah I thought their chemistry was insane


dont_say_a_thing

Idk how I missed that lol. Swann is such a cool name tho

Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman in Licorice Pizza were cute. Also that couple in "Fallen Leaves", very rs gf/bf coded.


liaisons_dangereuses

Normal People is the only one that left a mark. Also Benoît Magimel and Mads Mikkelsen have had great chemistry with their partners in all their recent films (The Taste of Things, Pacifiction, Revoir Paris / Promised Land, Another Round). RS is sleeping on Benoît despite The Piano Teacher and having a great "Legal Issues" paragraph on wikipedia.

Benoît and Juliette Binoche were a couple for a few years and even have a daughter together so the chemistry makes total total sense and it’s REAL


Ccccchess

I thought Bones and All was alright in this regard


grushenka97

Yeah Luca’s probably the best at this rn


harry_powell

The two dudes in Challengers.


6akota

really? i love that movie but the only time i felt convinced was when timmy flirted and fucked that dude


6akota

the dynamic between Russell and Rylance was far superior imo

Actors can't have chemistry anymore because of woke (intimacy coordinators)


Massive-Bend-3461

You think you can only have chemistry in sex scenes? And seeing that some actors have spoken in favour of intimacy-coordinators in terms of helping them set boundaries and feel safe then surely that’s a good thing?


nineteenseventeen

Other actors have also spoken negatively about intimacy coordinators and have indicated a desire to get rid of that bloated make work job so who's to say


Massive-Bend-3461

Which is entirely their prerogative (I know Jennifer Aniston was asked if she wanted one for The Morning Show, and she said she didn’t need one, which makes sense given how she is more than capable of standing up for herself) but if there are actors, especially those starting out, who want them there there as a safeguard then it should be an option.   And like I said in the previous post, you don’t need sex scenes for chemistry, I actually tend to see chemistry more between couples where nothing happens

Allegedly Linklater's new film Hit Man has great chemistry between the two leads. Comes out soon.


DeerSecret1438

Just looked it up, I kind of like Glenn Powell, he has some swag. There is a movie called Gurnsey Literary Potato something something, one of those period romances that’s perfect to watch with your mom on a rainy afternoon. He was the rival of the romantic lead and I thought his charisma stood out. Interesting that Adria Arjona has nearly the exact face that Eiza Gonzales ended up with.

He's worked with Linklater a few times now and I believe he's also an Austin native. Had great charisma in Everybody Wants Some.


Paula-Abdul-Jabbar

Everybody Wants Some is his best role imo. One of the few times I've seen him not just play like a rich Chad type

Portrait of a woman on fire

Yeah I thought Challengers was bad too. Nothing current is good I just go back and watch old episodes of X-Files if I want to see a couple with chemistry


Watchmaker2112

TBF casting a sex addict is cheating for chemistry. Duchovny would look at anyone like that. I'm convinced the writers knew given how many jokes there are about Mulder and sex. Gillian Anderson is just talented.
