Collette

In that long-ago HBO drama, Greg Kinnear’s philandering husband chucks aside Toni Collette’s devoted but defeated wife.

Jewellery tutor Collette Waudby said about the famous area of Birmingham: "It's an ageing workforce and, unless we do something about it, we could lose this industry."

Collette throws this line of dialogue out so excitedly that it feels almost insignificant, little more than a joke that tells us about her character’s offbeat sensibilities.

Ylfa’s cockamamie hobby is ridiculous, but she’s no less dangerous than her husband, and Collette is the perfect extension of Ruffalo’s hyper-committed, hilarious performance.

Equally preposterous is Collette’s Ylfa, who is hellbent on perfecting sauces and dressings, which she sees as the highest sensory experience one can have.
