All Elisabeth Moss Movies Ranked

With a full steam TV career ranging from The West Wing to Mad Men and The Handmaid’s Tale, it took until last decade for Elisabeth Moss to start building her profile as a leading movie star. But in the years since 2014 breakthrough dramatic thriller The One I Love, she’s put together an impressive catalog of diverse, complex film roles that complements her television work, as seen in Certified Fresh movies like Queen of Earth, Listen Up Phillip, Us, and Her Smell.

In 2020, she made headlines on both sides of the pandemic: first with The Invisible Man (one of the last major theatrical offerings to enjoy some semblance of a full release window), and then with the dark, literary Shirley after it set up shop on streaming. She’ll have an appearance in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which was due for later this year and has now been unset without a new release date. Until then, we’re ranking all Elisabeth Moss movies by Tomatometer! —Alex Vo
