The Cut - Emma Corrin, the Shape-shifter

As fans have pointed out, there are three core requisites to Emma Corrin’s work: Period piece? Check. Love triangle? Check again. A character attempting to release themself from society’s unfairly restrictive expectations of a young person? Check, check, check.

So far, the 26-year-old actor has played a sexually frustrated housewife in post-World War I Britain, the jilted bride of a closeted policeman in mid-century England, and most famously a young woman thrust onto the world stage after marrying into one of the most powerful families on the planet circa the 1980s. And this fall, Corrin will deliver two magnetic performances onscreen, both of which already have awards season-watchers talking. First, they will star opposite Harry Styles and David Dawson in Michael Grandage’s adaptation of My Policeman, in theaters on October 21 and streaming on Prime Video starting November 4. The film centers on a forbidden romantic entanglement: Corrin and Styles play a couple named Marion, a schoolteacher, and Tom, a policeman whose trysts with Dawson’s Patrick, a gay museum curator, upend the relationship and lead to devastating consequences.
