If you need more reason to be excited about Alcock’sDCUcasting as Supergirl, you should check out these five previous on-screen roles.
The School (2018)
Australian horror movieThe Schoolis a prime example of why film critics should often be ignored. It’s been largely slammed in reviews, but the negativity is harsh. The plot concerns a doctor, Amy Wintercraig, played by Megan Drury, who awakens perplexed in a bathtub in an abandoned school, where she must fight against evil supernatural forces and her inner demons to discover the truth about the whereabouts of her missing son. Milly Alcock plays Jien, one of the school’s creepy children who haunts Amy at every turn in her only movie role to date. She’s excellent in her stunning makeup.The Schoolis a spooky movie with plenty of heart and good ideas. Its primarily little-known cast does well and makes a refreshing change from stereotypical Outback-based Australian horror.
Streaming onAmazon Prime.
The Australian comedy-drama seriesUprightis the show Milly Alcock is best known for in her home country. From 2019 until 2002, she played the leading role of Megan “Meg” Adams alongside Tim Minchin as Laclan “Lucky” Flynn. Meg is a runaway teenager, and Lucky is a struggling musician. They (literally) crash into each other lives and spend the first season attempting to transport an upright piano across the southern Australian Outback to Lucky’s terminally ill mother in Perth, his hometown. In the second season, they try to find Meg’s missing mother in the vast rainforests of northern Queensland. Hilarity ensues in this quintessentially Aussie romp, and both main stars are fantastic. Alcock kills it as Meg, delivering an attention-grabbing and energetic performance throughout. She received an AACTA Award nomination for her role in the series.
The Gloaming
The Gloamingis an Australian supernatural thriller series following the efforts of an unconventional policewoman to uncover the mysteries of the murder of an unidentified female victim. She’s forced to ally herself with a man she hasn’t spoken to in decades and finds evidence linking the murder to an unsolved case from the past. With themes of the occult and police corruption,The Gloamingis thoroughly entertaining. Its leads, Emma Booth and Ewen Leslie, are excellent. Milly Alcock is impressive in a recurring role as Jenny McGinty – a girl involved in the aforementioned unsolved past case – in the show’s only season in 2020. This little gem should engross people who enjoy supernatural mystery shows likeTwin Peaks.
Reckoningis an Australian crime thriller series about a high school girl going missing and the prime suspect being a serial killer, the Russian River Killer, who’s been inactive for five years. The show follows two fathers – one the serial killer – as they clash destructively and disrupt their otherwise quiet suburban community.True Blood’sSam Trammell plays murderer Leo Doyle, and Aden Young plays Detective Sergeant Mike Serrato, who tries to bring him down. They’re both outstanding, and Milly Alcock shines as Serrato’s daughter, Sam, in a recurring role in the 2018 series.Reckoningis pretty derivative and often feels contrived, but it’s well-performed and keeps audiences guessing enough to hold their attention.
Streaming onChannel 4.
