Monster
Young Adult
Tully
Bombshell

For me:

Monster: No, not every note she hits rings true, but the brute force of her transformation and the way she gets underneath the skin of a widely misunderstood figure is still stupendous to watch.

Tully: Arguably her most relaxed and lived-in leading performance. She inhabits the messiness of motherhood without any actorly affectation.

Young Adult: Her breakdown near the end is one for the ages, and the performance overall is just caustically funny yet strangely sympathetic exploration of narcissism and arrested development.

N/S Bombshell

Never saw Tully.

I think Young Adult and Bombshell are both great, both showcase polar opposite ends of her skills, but I'd go with Bombshell, which is more my kind of thing and less reliant on the gimmicky nature of the role.

I thought the best stuff in Monster was the comic stuff "FUCK YOU, LESLIE", "Why? You like to fuck your kids?" and the rest of it I could not stand.
