'Quickly goes down as one of the best episodes yet' - How Sadie Sink's heartbreaking monologue elevates 'Stranger Things 4'

In the strange and captivating world of Netflix's hit show 'Stranger Things', one star seems to outshine them all. Remember the name, Sadie Sink, because this rising talent, who portrays the spirited Max Mayfield, is knocking at Hollywood's door, ready for her big breakthrough.

Sadie Sink: "More than just a tomboy"

In its fourth season, 'Stranger Things' introduced a more profound and darker shade of Max's character. As reported by Variety, Sink's portrayal of a character grappling with the death of her stepbrother, Billy (Dacre Montgomery), has truly captured the cultural zeitgeist. She masterfully channels the trauma and anguish into a haunting performance, especially during the stand-out monologue at Billy's grave in "Chapter Four: Dear Billy". As the director Shawn Levy creatively uses the backdrop of Kate Bush's 1985 song “Running Up That Hill,” Sink delivers what might be the best acting the series has seen yet.

"The word-of-mouth this season that Sink has generated on social media and within the industry"

With Emmy's phase one voting just around the corner, Sink certainly put herself in contention to nab her first nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series. Her riveting performance has garnered significant buzz on social media and within the industry, which increased her chances in a highly competitive Emmy race.

The young actors of 'Stranger Things' have consistently been a highlight of the show's success. The first three seasons were favourites of the TV Academy, with David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown both earning nominations. However, Sink's co-star Noah Schnapp, despite a stunning performance, was notably snubbed. This serves as a reminder that even the most stellar performances can sometimes be overlooked.

"The Hollywood chessboard is set for Sink to have a significant breakout moment in 2022"

Aside from 'Stranger Things', Sink is slated to co-star alongside Brendan Fraser, Samantha Morton, and Hong Chau in A24's 'The Whale' from Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky. This is rumoured to be another remarkable performance from Sink, marking 2022 as her year for a significant breakout in Hollywood.
