What are your favorite perfomances of child actors in Mainstream Movies?
The other day I talked with daughter about why we didn't like Stranger Things. We discussed child actors and agreed they tend to be pretty bad most of the time.
Performances I like:
River Phoenix - Stand by me
Haley Joel Osmond - The Sixth Sense
Dafne Keen - Logan
Hailee Steinfeld - True Grit
Natalie Portman - The Professional
