00:00Let's dive into the beautifully bizarre journey that is Lily-Rose Depp's filmography,

00:03especially considering Nosferatu, the newest adaptation of a silent horror classic,

00:08which casts Lily-Rose Depp as the gothic muse in a movie where everyone's skin tone is one

00:13bad sunburn away from blending into the set. Critics are already raving about the film's

00:17moody aesthetic and Depp's ability to look hauntingly ethereal while being chased by

00:20what appears to be Dracula's less charming cousin. She brings a spectral and very special

00:25look to this role, that's right. So as Lily-Rose manages to embody a timeless scream queen in this

00:30movie, though some might argue she spends half the movie doing an emotional equivalent of staring

00:34out rain-streaked windows into the abyss. Emo vampires rejoice, she's your new queen here.

00:39Come to me.

00:40Look at The Idol, for example, the show HBO hyped as the next Euphoria but delivered as

00:44Euphoria's awkward cousin who won't stop oversharing at Thanksgiving, featuring the weekend.

00:48Yeah, Depp stars as a troubled pop star caught in the clutches of a cult leader,

00:52played by the aforementioned Weeknd, whose acting debut was as stiff as a cardboard cutout.

00:58Critics had a field day dragging the show's over-the-top sleeves, but quote saying,

01:02Depp's performance is compelling, but the plot feels like a fever dream wherein someone who

01:06just discovered Tumblr in 2012, unquote. Yeah, critics keep quipping such things,

01:11yet Lily-Rose emerged relatively unscathed from the ordeal with her role in Nosferatu,

01:16and look, some actually appraised her ability to inject depth into a series that had all the

01:20subtlety of a monster truck rally going into flames. And hey, at least she wasn't responsible

01:26for the now infamous scene involving a hairbrush. Look it up, or better yet, don't, we'll just

01:30kinda show it to you. Finally, we arrive at Yoga Hosers, which is a cult classic in the sense that

01:36the only cult would willingly watch it twice. It's not that great. Directed by Kevin Smith,

01:40of Clerks fame, who we love, and look, it's a great attempt to put your daughter in the movie,

01:44yes. The film is co-starring his daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, and the film sees Lily-Rose Depp

01:48playing a convenience store clerk, see what we're doing here, battling bratwurst-shaped Nazis, yes,

01:53it's, that's really what the movie's about, and it's a movie that critics described as, I don't

01:57know, something like a fever dream fueled by too many Red Bulls, and Kevin Smith's unchecked creative

02:01freedom. While the film didn't exactly redefine cinema, Lily-Rose Depp committed to her role with

02:05the energy of someone who knows their dad will be texting them for this about years. Is it her

02:09citizen Kane? Absolutely not. But she does wield a hockey stick against sausage monsters, who has

02:15to count for something. In comparing her roles across Nosferatu, The Idol, and Yoga Hosiers,

02:18it's clear Lily-Rose Depp has range, albeit a range that swings wildly between R. Dao's

02:23brilliance, HBO chaos, and hot dog-based horror. In Nosferatu, she's haunting, melancholic, like a

02:29vintage perfume that also scares children. In The Idol, she's raw and vulnerable, somehow keeping

02:34her dignity afloat in a sea of questionable plot choices. But in Yoga Hosiers, she's kind of just,

02:38I don't know, vibing, and she's young. I mean, it's one of her early, early pieces of acting,

02:43proving that, look, nepotism babies need a good old-fashioned cringe moment on their resume.

02:48Building blocks, working it through, paying your dues.
