Featured review
Amazing Mandy Moore
It will never happen because the Emmy Awards no longer give recognition to network television shows - you have to be a "cable" TV show to be of any relevance to them nowadays, but in this episode Mandy Moore gives one of the most brilliant performances of this (or any season) in a television series. It covers Rebecca in the various stages of her life at Thanksgiving and Moore demonstrates just how wonderfully she understands her complicated character and gives a performance that is devastatingly real and sincere and, ultimately, breathtaking at one point. This is acting at its best. Along the way, the antagonism between Kate and Toby takes an interesting twist (involving food !) that is well played by Chrissy Metz and Chris Sullivan with stark honesty and feeling. They are quite good here, as are Hannah Zeile as 19 year old Kate and Susan Kelechi Watson, who has always managed to give the This Is Us episodes some well-needed humor and common sense feelings when the Pierson family members, particularly her husband Randall, spiral into their neuroses. Well-written, well-played and finely directed all around, but it is Moore who has the last word and manages to tower above this extremely talented cast.
