I can’t find the link, but Cosmopolitan critic Liz Smith did apparently write a few lines about Martin Scorsese‘s Taxi Driver, and one of them said that Jodie Foster‘s performance as Iris, a 12 year-old Lower East Side prostitute, was “delightful.”
Other delightful performances in this vein: Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life, Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello in Radio Flyer, Sissy Spacek in Carrie, Gabourey Sidibe in Precious. Margot Robbie in I, Tonya, Ashton Sanders and Alex Hibbert in Moonlight….the list goes on.
