Judy Greer’s name is synonymous with comedic genius, having brought laughter to audiences in numerous films. However, her latest venture, Aporia, marks a bold departure from her usual genre, showcasing her impressive range as a dramatic actress. Director Jared Moshé was impressed by Greer’s ability to skillfully blend pathos and humor in a scene, making her the perfect choice for the complex role of Sophie.
In Aporia, Greer’s Sophie is a grieving widow who receives a mysterious time machine that allows her to relive memories with her deceased husband. As she becomes increasingly reliant on the machine, she begins to alter reality, facing devastating consequences as a result. Moshé praises Greer’s performance, citing her remarkable ability to convey powerful emotions with just a subtle look or gesture.
Moshé points to a specific scene in The Descendants, where Greer’s character visits George Clooney’s character and his comatose wife, as an example of her exceptional acting skills. “I don’t think any other living actor could do that the way Judy did that,” he says, highlighting her unique gift for evoking emotions.
