The film features a fine list of performers. Matthew McConaughey (an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club) plays Cooper. Michael Caine, Alfred from Nolan’s Batman installments and winner of two Oscars, plays the head of NASA, professor Brand. Anne Hathaway (an Oscar for Les Misérables) plays Caine’s biologist daughter Amelia. Matt Damon (an Oscar for Good Will Hunting) has a small role on the other side of the wormhole. Murph is animated by three different actresses, 14-year-old Mackenzie Foy, Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, The Help), and Ellen Burstyn. Murph is the only character Nolan commendably illustrates in details. With a pencil in her hair, young Murph is captivated by encryptions. She is also stubborn and eager to participate as she takes over the car’s gear stick as her father drives. She is a lovely and realistic portrait of many little girls of the 21st century.
