10 Best Alex Wolff Movies Ranked

Okay, let's talk about Alex Wolff. You know, the guy who pops up in cool movies and makes you think, "Who is that?!" He's got this really unique vibe. He can play intense, quirky, and even a little bit weird. And you know what? We love him for it.

So, I've been doing some serious (and by serious, I mean totally fun) research. I've watched a bunch of his films. I've thought about his performances. And I've come up with a list. A list of the 10 best Alex Wolff movies. Prepare yourselves. This is my totally unbiased, possibly unpopular opinion.

10. Pig (2021)

Look, I know this movie is all about Nicolas Cage. And he's amazing, don't get me wrong. But Alex Wolff is the quiet storm in the background.

He plays the guy who's kinda lost. He's dealing with some stuff. And Alex brings this really raw vulnerability to it. You feel for him, even when he's not saying much.

He's the emotional anchor in a very unique story.

9. Hereditary (2018)

Okay, this one is definitely not for the faint of heart. Hereditary is seriously creepy. And Alex Wolff is a huge part of that creepiness.

He plays a character who is going through… a lot. Like, an unbelievable amount of stuff. His performance is so intense, it's almost uncomfortable to watch. Which is exactly what you want in a horror movie, right?

He really sells the terror. You're right there with him. Feeling all the dread. It's a masterful display of unsettling acting.

8. My Friend Dahmer (2017)

This is a tough one. It's about a very dark subject. But Alex Wolff takes on the role of Jeffrey Dahmer as a teenager. And he's surprisingly good.

He doesn't glorify it, obviously. He shows the awkwardness. The isolation. The budding darkness. It's a sensitive portrayal of a very sensitive topic.

He finds the humanity, even in the disturbing.

7. The Cat and the Moon (2019)

This is a movie that Alex Wolff also wrote and directed. Talk about a triple threat!

He plays a teenage musician with cystic fibrosis. It's a story about family, art, and facing your own mortality. He pours his heart into this one.

The film has a raw, indie feel. And his performance is super authentic. You can tell this project was really personal for him.

6. Old (2021)

Okay, hear me out on this one. Old is a weird movie. Like, really, really weird.

But Alex Wolff is one of the standouts. He plays a character who is freaking out. And honestly, I would be freaking out too if I were him.

He brings a lot of energy to the role. And some much-needed humor. Even in a movie that's trying to be serious and scary.

5. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

This is where a lot of people probably first noticed Alex Wolff. He plays the mean popular kid, Flash Thompson. But like, the super annoying version.

He's the classic bully. And he plays it with such relish. You love to hate him. Which is, you know, good acting.

He definitely adds some memorable moments to the film. Even if you're just watching for The Rock.

4. The House of Tomorrow (2018)

This is a charming little indie film. Alex Wolff plays a teenager who is obsessed with futurism. And conspiracy theories.

He's got this really quirky energy about him. He's smart, but a little bit of an outsider. It’s a sweet performance.

He makes the nerdy cool.

3. A Star Is Born (2018)

Even though his part is small, Alex Wolff makes a big impression in A Star Is Born.

He plays Gator, a musician friend. He brings this real warmth and authenticity to the role. You believe his friendship with Lady Gaga's character.

It’s a testament to his talent that he can shine so brightly in such a star-studded cast.

2. True Crimes (2016)

This is a gritty crime drama. And Alex Wolff is really compelling here. He plays a young man involved in a murder investigation.

He's got this intense gaze. And he can convey so much with just his eyes. It's a performance that stays with you.

He’s the anchor of the story. Keeping it grounded and believable. Even when things get dark.

1. Hereditary (2018) – The Unpopular Opinion

Okay, I know I put Hereditary further down. But this is where my real unpopular opinion comes in. While many praise Toni Collette (and rightfully so!), I think Alex Wolff is the MVP of this film.

His breakdown scene? Pure cinematic gold. It’s so raw, so visceral. I was genuinely disturbed.

He’s the heart of the horror, in a terrifying way.

His performance is so committed. So utterly convincing. He deserves all the accolades for this one. It's a performance that will haunt you. In the best possible way, of course.

So there you have it. My top 10 Alex Wolff movies. Do you agree? Probably not! But that’s the fun of it, right? Keep an eye on this guy. He’s got a bright, and likely very interesting, future.
