Top 10 Best Movies and TV Shows Starring Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney has something you can't fake: she dares to be unpleasant on camera. Not only sweet, not only sexy, but also desperate, manipulative, broken and sometimes hilarious. That courage made her great in series, but also explains why she now switches effortlessly between romcom, horror and true drama. She started with small roles and progressed to characters that grated. In recent years she has also been working more and more on the producer side. Not as a marketing trick, but as a way to set the tone yourself. Table of contents

Euphoria (2019)

Sydney Sweeney made her worldwide breakthrough with the role of Cassie Howard in the series Euphoria. Cassie is not the nicest girl in the class, but what she is is recognizable. She has a great need for love and attention. Sweeney is not afraid to show the less beautiful sides of this girl, such as her wrong choices and great insecurity. Especially in the second season, the situation for her character gets completely out of hand. She goes so far in this that it almost becomes uncomfortable for the viewer to watch, and that is exactly what makes her acting so strong. Sydney Sweeney is at her best in roles that grate and feel uncomfortable. She plays characters who lose themselves while you as a viewer cannot look away. If she continues to follow this path, this will only be the beginning of a very big career.

Anyone But You (2023)

In the film Anyone But You, Sydney Sweeney shows that she can also entertain a large audience with a rom-com. The film became an unexpected success, especially because the chemistry between her and Glen Powell works very well. The many scenes in swimsuits must have helped too.

#3

The White Lotus (2021)

In the television series The White Lotus, Sydney Sweeney plays the role of Olivia Mossbacher. Olivia is a smart, cynical girl who looks down on the luxury in which she lives. Paradoxically, she is also completely dependent on it at the same time. She thinks she is morally better than the rest, which makes her quite an annoying character. Sweeney plays this role with a good balance between humor and sharpness. She knows exactly how to use the awkward atmosphere of the series to stand out in every scene.

#4

The Housemaid (2025)

When Millie gets a job as a housekeeper for a seemingly perfect (and wealthy!) family, she seems to get the fresh start she's been hoping for. But it soon becomes apparent that the glossy facade conceals a tangle of lies and danger, and Millie is forced to defend herself in an increasingly grim game of power and distrust. Sweeney plays a great role, with her character constantly teetering between hope and paranoia, leaving you constantly questioning what is real and what isn't – exactly the kind of insecurity that makes her at her best.

#5

Reality (2023)

The entire film Reality takes place in a kitchen and living room. The text spoken by the actors is exactly what was actually said during the interrogation of whistleblower Reality Winner. Sydney Sweeney plays this role very calmly and naturally, without exaggerated acting. You see her talking, laughing and sometimes having doubts while she tries to remain calm. You slowly notice that she is being pushed more and more into a corner.

#6

Christy (2025)

Sydney Sweeney completely transformed for this role into Christy Martin, the legendary American boxer who made a name for himself in a man's world in the 1990s. Sweeney plays a woman who is hungry for recognition but at the same time confronted with her own vulnerability, and in this intense role she shows why she is willing to go to physical and emotional limits for her work.

#7

0

In the film Eden, director Ron Howard investigates how a group of people go off the rails on a desert island.

Sydney Sweeney plays a central role in this and shows that she can hold her own next to experienced top actors such as Jude Law and Ana de Armas.

#9

Sharp Objects (2018)

0

Although her role in Sharp Objects is limited to a few scenes in a psychiatric clinic, she makes an immediate impression. She plays a young girl struggling with deep inner pain, which fits seamlessly with the dark atmosphere of the series. In this role you see her talent for portraying complex and troubled characters early on. Without much text, she manages to create an oppressive atmosphere that stays with the viewer. It was one of the first times she caught the attention of the general public before she became world famous with later projects.

#10
