Kendrick's most successful film of 2012 was the musical comedy Pitch Perfect , loosely based on the non-fiction book Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory. Kendrick played Beca Mitchell, a rebellious college freshman who joins an a cappella group called the Barden Bellas and finds that her more modern approach to music clashes with the traditional approach of the group's leader.

Artistry and public image

Helen Barlow of The New Zealand Herald and Mary Pols of Time agreed that Kendrick was often cast as mean characters early in her film career. [37] [38] In addition to contributing comedic relief in supporting roles, [38] she became known for playing neurotic yet warm, endearing women in a range of genres. [39] [40] [41] According to Ryan Gilbey of The Guardian , she is drawn towards tenacious and hyper-confident characters, although the actress admitted she is much less assertive than the characters she plays, describing her work as "wish-fulfilment". [42] [43] Gilbey described her artistic trademark as "that moment when her characters undergo a revelatory or disorienting change". [42] For a period of time after her breakthrough, Kendrick rejected a handful of specific roles to avoid being typecast. [44] The Philippine Star said Kendrick's versatility and commitment to ultimately resulted in her becoming the first main Twilight cast member nominated for an Oscar. [44] However, in 2020, writer Mary Elizabeth Williams opined that she had struggled to transition "into more diverse, complicated roles". [45]

Alex Vo of Rotten Tomatoes said her career has been "defined by steady versatility", and she particularly excels in hybrid comedies and musicals. [46] Her public profile grew from starring in a series of high-profile musical films, [47] with Pitch Perfect cementing her as "one of her generation’s most adept 20-something actresses", according to Asawin Suebsaeng of Mother Jones . [48] Film critic Ty Burr called her "the first great movie musical star of her generation". [49] Citing Pitch Perfect, The Last Five Years and Into The Woods as examples, Helen Whitaker of Glamour found musicals "to be the only constant" in her diverse filmography. [50] Up in the Air director Jason Reitman said Kendrick "talks like someone from the 1940s", and the actress confirmed some of her favorite films are from this era. [51] Meanwhile, Gilbey said she is "a crisp dramatic actor with a facility for screwball, as well as a knack ... for being adorable without lapsing into kookiness". [42] Burr felt Kendrick "might have been a valued triple threat" similar to Ginger Rogers had she been famous during the studio era. [52] She has been described as having a soprano vocal range. [53] [54]

Kendrick herself has said that she is perceived as quirky and relatable on the internet, [55] and journalists have often commented on the outspokenness, wit, relatability, and self-awareness she presents across interviews and social media. [56] [57] [58] [59] However, she described herself as too "snarky" to interact directly with fans in fear of offending them. [60] Although some publications have called her "America's Sweetheart", [45] [61] Kendrick has said she has no interest in embracing the title. [62] Emma Stefansky of Vanity Fair declared her one of the funniest women in Hollywood, [63] whereas Sadaf Ahsan of the National Post said Kendrick has cultivated an image that is charming, endearing, and precocious both on and off-screen, comparing her to Shirley Temple. [64] In 2016, Allison P. Davis of The Ringer remarked that Kendrick has remained likeable by avoiding backlash commonly associated with overexposure. [56] In 2017, Elle writer Antonia Blyth described the actress as warm, friendly, and honest "with none of the typical celebrity reserve", despite her growing fame. [43] The Globe and Mail film critic Barry Hertz said the actress has spent much of her career since Pitch Perfect perfecting "the funny-perky-nerdy-but-cool-girl image", finally breaking it with 2023's Alice Darling. [65]

Kendrick said she would rather celebrities use their privilege to amplify more educated experts on social issues, rather than discuss them herself. [66] She has spoken about experiencing gender bias in Hollywood, specially times when she has been forced to wait for a film's male characters to be cast before she is seriously considered for a role. [58] Kendrick donated her Woman of the Hour salary to various charities. [67]

Personal life

Kendrick resides in Los Angeles. [68]

She has said that her experience in an emotionally abusive relationship inspired her performance in Alice, Darling . [69]
