Let Me In (2010)
Matt Reeves remakes Let the Right One In with care and conviction. Let Me In earns its 8 by being the rarest of things, an American remake of a beloved foreign film that justifies its own existence.
Kodi Smit-McPhee was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Power of the Dog, playing a young man whose apparent fragility conceals the film’s actual threat.
The Road gave him a lead at twelve opposite Viggo Mortensen, and Let Me In gave him the American version of Let the Right One In. ParaNorman gave him a voice lead, and X-Men: Apocalypse gave him Nightcrawler. He is Australian.
