Vikander as Vera Brittain in Testament of Youth.
Vikander is clearly a productive actress. But, more importantly, she's incredibly talented. Vikander's skills are masterfully displayed in Testament of Youth, in which she vividly brings to life the story of Brittain, who overcame serious loss to become a female academic in an era when that was a rare feat.
"I tried to stay true to the character," Vikander said of her portrayal of Brittain. "Of course, my own experiences, emotions, ideas, and fantasies are what I use to create another character. But in the beginning, I liked reading [Brittain's] book. She was an extraordinary woman and she had such dedication to what she later on took on. She was a big feminist and pacifist. I wanted to pay respect to the actual journey that she made."
