About this gallery:

For this list, we have decided to focus only on movies where Brie Larson appears, no matter how small her role is. For this reason, don’t expect any of her performances in series, short films, or commercials. And remember, this list is subjective! If you think any movie is not in the right spot, share your opinion!

Cropped The Marvels

20. The Marvels (2023)

Returning as Carol Danvers, Brie Larson tries to bring a new spark to her role, but "The Marvels" ends up feeling more like a chaotic blend of special effects than a solid superhero story. Larson does her best with the material, but the film doesn’t always give her the chance to shine. Fans might appreciate the action, but it’s clear that even a superstar like Brie can only do so much with a thin script. | © Marvel Studios

Cropped Trainwreck

19. Trainwreck (2015)

Larson plays Amy Schumer's grounded sister in "Trainwreck," adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise raunchy comedy. While she’s not the star, her role as the responsible one feels like a necessary balance to the film’s antics. It’s a good side role, but let's face it—this isn’t a movie people associate with her powerhouse acting. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Captain marvel

18. Captain Marvel (2019)

Brie’s debut as Carol Danvers is a mixed bag: she nails the hero's toughness, but the film’s pacing and script don’t fully support her talents. "Captain Marvel" may have kicked off her superhero journey, but the character feels a bit too stiff at times. The movie has some high points, though, like those scenes with a certain scene-stealing cat. | © Marvel Studios

Cropped Fast X

17. Fast X (2023)

In "Fast X," Brie joins the world of street racers and improbable stunts, bringing some extra star power to the franchise. It's clear she's having fun, but her role is so small it feels like a teaser rather than a full-on debut. Larson’s charisma is on display, but it’s mostly lost in the whirlwind of absurd action sequences. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Greenberg

16. Greenberg (2010)

Larson’s role in "Greenberg" is small—blink, and you might miss her. She’s part of a memorable ensemble, but this early appearance doesn’t let her show her full potential. It’s one of those "oh, she was in that?" roles, perfect for a trivia night but not much else. | © Focus Features

Cropped Kong Skull Island

15. Kong: Skull Island (2017)

As a war photographer trapped on an island with a massive ape, Larson brings some grit to "Kong: Skull Island." Her chemistry with the CGI Kong is actually one of the film’s highlights, but it’s still a blockbuster spectacle where she’s more an observer than a hero. She does her part, but it’s King Kong who steals the show. | © Warner Bros.

Cropped Rampart

14. Rampart (2011)

Brie plays a smaller role as Woody Harrelson’s troubled daughter in this gritty crime drama. Her scenes are intense and raw, but they’re few and far between. It's an early taste of her dramatic chops, even if the movie itself gets a bit lost in its own moral ambiguity. | © Millennium Entertainment

Cropped The Gambler

13. The Gambler (2014)

In "The Gambler," Larson plays a student who becomes an unlikely confidant to Mark Wahlberg’s troubled professor. She’s the level-headed counterpoint, but the role doesn’t quite let her break free. It’s a respectable performance, though the film doesn’t give her the spotlight she deserves. | © Paramount Pictures

Cropped The Glass Castle

12. The Glass Castle (2017)

Based on the best-selling memoir, Larson shines as a woman navigating her complicated family history. Her portrayal is heartfelt, but the movie sometimes stumbles in tone, jumping between heavy drama and light nostalgia. Still, Brie’s performance carries the film, even if the script sometimes lets her down. | © Lionsgate

Cropped Don Jon

11. Don Jon (2013)

In "Don Jon," Larson has maybe ten words of dialogue as Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s silent sister—and yet she nails it. Her expressive reactions are hilarious and say more than words ever could. It’s a tiny role, but she’s oddly memorable in it, proving sometimes less really is more. | © Relativity Media

Cropped Unicorn Store

10. Unicorn Store (2017)

Brie Larson directs and stars in this quirky tale about dreams and rainbows. It’s whimsical and earnest, but for many, it feels like an acquired taste. Larson brings her all, but some viewers might feel the glitter is a bit too much. Still, you can’t deny her commitment to this one-of-a-kind role. | © Netflix

Cropped Free Fire

9. Free Fire (2016)

This shoot-'em-up is chaotic and violent, with Larson playing a tough character stuck in a ridiculous crossfire. It’s a wild ride, and Brie’s witty one-liners add a spark, but it’s definitely not her deepest role. Fun? Yes. Oscar-worthy? Probably not. | © A24

Cropped Digging for Fire

8. Digging for Fire (2015)

As part of an ensemble cast, Larson plays a character caught up in a random, aimless adventure. She’s good, but the movie itself feels more like an improvised hangout than a coherent story. Her role is easy to enjoy but ultimately forgettable. | © The Orchard

Cropped Scott Pilgrim vs the World

7. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Larson is a scene-stealer as Envy Adams, Scott’s rockstar ex with a fierce attitude. She’s edgy, funny, and owns her limited screen time. It’s a cult classic role that doesn’t let her flex her range, but it sure is fun to watch her belt out “Black Sheep.” | © Universal Pictures

Cropped 21 Jump Street

6. 21 Jump Street (2012)

As Jonah Hill’s love interest, Larson gets to showcase her comedic timing. She’s charming and endearing, even if the movie’s more about the buddy cops than romance. It’s not her meatiest role, but she plays the high school vibe perfectly. | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped Just Mercy

5. Just Mercy (2019)

In "Just Mercy," Larson takes on a more subdued role as an activist fighting for justice. It’s a supportive part, but she makes it memorable with her warmth and conviction. While it’s not her flashiest performance, it adds heart to an important story. | © Warner Bros.

Cropped Avengers Endgame

4. Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Brie’s time as Captain Marvel in "Endgame" is short but impactful. She shows up to help save the day, but her scenes are over in a flash. Fans of the character might feel a bit short-changed, but her fierce energy is undeniable. | © Marvel Studios

Cropped The Spectacular Now

3. The Spectacular Now (2013)

As a high schooler stuck in a toxic relationship, Larson brings authenticity and charm to her role. She’s not the star, but her performance leaves a lasting impression. It's a memorable supporting role that adds depth to the film’s emotional core. | © A24

Cropped Short Term 12

2. Short Term 12 (2013)

Larson delivers a raw, deeply human performance as a counselor for troubled teens. This role showcases her dramatic range, with a mix of strength and vulnerability that feels authentic. "Short Term 12" is one of those under-the-radar gems where Brie truly shines. | © Cinedigm

Room 2542345

1. Room (2015)

In "Room," Larson reaches new heights, delivering a heartbreaking yet hopeful performance as a young mother held captive. This Oscar-winning role is haunting and unforgettable, showing Brie’s ability to convey immense depth. It’s a career-defining role that proves she’s got the chops for even the heaviest material. | © A24
