Another couple shots for Eve Best, who was never given enough to do, but did what she did with steely eyed intelligence and tremendous authority. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 08/05/2024
Best’s performance is a peerless work of interiority. Scenes in the hours leading up to this color in the mystery Best cultivates in Rhaenys by showing her to be a caring loyal figure. Go to Full Review Shirley Li The Atlantic 07/15/2024
