All 10 Best Angourie Rice Movies Ranked (Best to Worst)

Shane Black’s 1970s neo-noir comedy operates on pure, anarchic friction, pairing a bumbling private eye with an abrasive enforcer amid a haze of smog and Hollywood decadence. Between the razor-sharp punchlines, bloody shootouts, and sleazy conspiracy plotting, the film sustains a frantic, screwball momentum rarely seen in modern studio filmmaking. Yet the entire circus hinges on Holly March. Playing Ryan Gosling’s precocious daughter, Rice steals every scene straight out from under two veteran comedy leads. Her deadpan maturity and moral clarity provide the story’s emotional compass, delivering a star-making turn that instantly announced her presence to international cinema.

Sofia Coppola’s languid, sun-dappled Southern Gothic psychological drama marinates in stifling dread and repressed desire within a sequestered Virginia girls' seminary. Philippe Le Sourd’s misty cinematography and minimalist sound design construct a claustrophobic pressure cooker when an injured Union corporal infiltrates the all-female sanctuary. The film thrives on unspoken tension, subtle micro-expressions, and predatory shifts in institutional power. Amid an elite cast featuring Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst, Rice delivers a quietly calculating performance as Jane. She weaponizes wide-eyed adolescent innocence to mask shrewd survival instincts, demonstrating an instinctive grasp of Coppola’s signature restraint and psychological subtlety.

Bruce Beresford’s lush adaptation of Madeleine St John’s novel captures 1959 Sydney on the precipice of cultural and social awakening. Set within the refined walls of Goode’s Department Store, the narrative explores postwar immigrant influence, class barriers, and budding female liberation through radiant costume design and warm, nostalgic rhythms. It is an affectionate period piece that prizes human dignity over cheap melodrama. Rice shines radiantly as Lisa, a bookish schoolgirl coming of age during her summer employment. Earning an AACTA Award for Best Actress, she anchors the gentle ensemble with wide-eyed intelligence and earnest curiosity, marking a pivotal transition into mature leading roles.

Director Oran Zegman injects hyper-literate cynicism and frantic pacing into the crowded high school coming-of-age subgenre. Stripping away sentimental teen tropes, the film centers on a ruthlessly Machiavellian senior scheming to dismantle her academic competitors to secure a Harvard recommendation. Snappy dialogue, stylish fourth-wall breaks, and genuine narrative twists keep the satire engaging and surprisingly morally layered. Rice commands the entire enterprise from the driver's seat, demonstrating exceptional comedic precision and electric charisma. Her portrayal of Honor balances calculated ambition with sudden flashes of teenage insecurity, proving she can carry a solo vehicle on sheer screen presence alone.

Jon Watts orchestrates a lively post-Endgame European excursion that balances superhero spectacle with high-school vacation comedy. Moving beyond standard web-slinging theatrics, the narrative leans heavily into teenage awkwardness, continental sightseeing, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s theatrical villainy. While the digital illusions and multi-city battles supply the blockbuster scale, the core charm lies in the grounded ensemble camaraderie back on the tour bus. Rice brings effortless effervescence to school-news anchor Betty Brant, turning a peripheral comic-book staple into a scene-stealing romantic foil. Her bubbly line delivery and deadpan comedic reactions inject welcome lightheartedness into Marvel’s colossal franchise apparatus.

Zak Hilditch’s brutal Australian apocalyptic thriller eschews sweeping global destruction to focus on visceral human collapse during Earth’s last twelve hours. Bathed in a suffocating orange haze of impending firestorms, Perth descends into hedonism, violence, and despair. What rescues the film from nihilism is the intimate bond formed between a self-destructive man and a stranded young girl searching for her family. At just twelve years old, Rice delivers an astonishing dramatic performance as Rose. Her unvarnished grief and stubborn innocence act as the story’s moral anchor, cutting through the film’s grim brutality to provide genuine emotional stakes.

Rachel Perkins directs this atmospheric 1965 Western Australian mystery with a keen awareness of racial tension and small-town hypocrisy. When an outcast teenager seeks help after discovering a dead body, the ensuing search for truth unearths dark communal secrets hidden behind white picket fences. Marked by sun-bleached photography and brooding dramatic gravity, the adaptation functions as a gripping historical morality play. Rice appears as Eliza Wishart, the younger sister of the deceased girl, bringing delicate sorrow and moral backbone to the unfolding tragedy. Her tender dynamic with Levi Miller grounds the mystery, contributing a mature, nuanced portrait of adolescent grief.

Michael Sucsy’s adaptation of David Levithan’s fantasy romance wrestles with the logistical and philosophical hurdles of loving a bodiless entity named 'A', who occupies a different human host each morning. The film maintains an earnest, open-minded sweetness, treating teenage romance through themes of identity, empathy, and unconditional connection rather than high-stakes genre mechanics. As the sole constant in a revolving door of co-stars, Rice carries the emotional weight almost entirely on her shoulders. She sells the surreal premise with grounded sincerity, keeping Rhiannon's affection authentic regardless of who is standing opposite her in any given scene.

Neil Nightingale and Barry Cook attempt to combine photorealistic BBC natural-history animation with family-friendly narrative storytelling in this prehistoric adventure. While the visual rendering of Late Cretaceous ecosystems remains technically proficient, the decision to layer juvenile celebrity voiceovers and an awkward modern live-action framing narrative undermines its educational immersion. The plot follows a scrappy Pachyrhinosaurus across a predictable underdog journey. Rice appears briefly in the live-action prologue and epilogue as Jade, alongside Karl Urban. While her natural warmth manages to lend a glimmer of authenticity to an otherwise perfunctory framing device, the material offers almost nothing substantial to play with.

This slight romantic-comedy indie relies on classic mistaken-identity tropes, chasing a premise where a misplaced phone number sparks a collaborative search between an aspiring musician and an analytical psychology student. Built on low-budget charm and conversational dialogue, the production follows a familiar path toward self-discovery and predictable romantic friction without establishing a sharp stylistic identity. Rice does what she can with undercooked material, injecting her characteristic intelligence and spirited presence into the psychology student archetype. However, the derivative plotting and flat pacing confine her talents, leaving the project feeling more like an inconsequential footnote in an otherwise carefully curated filmography.
