Give Amy Madigan an Oscar, exclaims Vulture. This is the performance of the year, says actress Sarah Paulson. Amy Madigan deserves an award, adds the Los Angeles Times, as major U.S. media rush to update their outdated profiles of the actress."
"Her role as the mysterious Aunt Gladys in Weapons, the horror film that portrays the collective trauma of a community after the disappearance of every child in an elementary school class except one has catapulted her to the status of a summer movie icon, meme fodder, and aesthetic inspiration for next Halloween thanks to that look that evokes designer Zandra Rhodes and Bette Davis in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Amy Madigan, at 74, achieved sudden cultural prominence for her performance as Aunt Gladys in Weapons. The role embodies communal trauma after the disappearance of nearly an entire elementary school class and has transformed Madigan into a summer movie icon, meme source, and seasonal aesthetic inspiration. Major media outlets and peers are promoting award recognition for the performance. Warner Bros. announced a prequel focused on Gladys. The rapid surge in visibility occurred within two weeks of the film's release and followed a deliberate promotional silence that kept Madigan's role secret during the initial campaign.
