## Fi1m on Olivia Munn

> Olivia Munn can make a supporting character seem worth following out of the scene. We rate her dry comic presence, though the writing too often gives more attention to less interesting people.

In *Magic Mike* (2012), Olivia Munn’s Joanna is a psychology student who drops into Mike’s life and leaves again. Steven Soderbergh gives her only three scenes, yet she seems more alive than the people carrying the romantic plot. We enjoyed her appearances more than the hesitant exchanges between Mike and Brooke; she gives the scenes away from the stage some much-needed energy. It is a small part, but it establishes why we rate her: she can make us interested in someone without much help from the script.

With *The Newsroom* (2012–2014), that presence had room to develop in Aaron Sorkin’s writing for economist Sloan Sabbith. Her bluntness and social awkwardness suited Munn’s dry, slightly misfit comic timing. The awkwardness matters: a character can be professionally assured and still make a mess of talking to people. The supporting roles in *X-Men: Apocalypse* (2016) and *The Predator* (2018) took her into large-scale action, though Psylocke in the former offered little reward for extensive fight preparation. The understated lead performance in *Violet* (2021) points towards quieter dramatic possibilities worth pursuing.

*Your Friends & Neighbors* (2025) gives us a more substantial reason to keep watching her. As Sam Levitt, she helps the relationship drama hold its own alongside the burglary story, with Amanda Peet’s Mel Cooper another reason to look beyond Jon Hamm’s Coop. We like the ensemble’s chemistry: these people can be enjoyable company without needing our approval. Munn belongs comfortably in that company, and the gossip is often more engaging than the programme’s familiar observations about privilege.

The limitation is how often the script returns to Coop’s dissatisfaction when Sam and the others deserve more attention. Munn and Peet make that imbalance noticeable, but cannot correct it from the sidelines. Start with *Your Friends & Neighbors*, with some patience for its insistence on returning to him.
