1. Obvious Child (2014)
Jenny Slate is a no-brainer for one of the most authentic and heartfelt portrayals of a woman navigating life, love, and an unexpected pregnancy. As Donna, Slate brings this awkwardness into the role, combining humor with vulnerability in a way mostly not even possible in mainstream rom-coms. The unflinching look into painful themes, such as abortion and heartbreak, all wrapped in the soft glove of comedy, is revolutionary. Although Slate didn't succeed so big at the box office, the charm and emotion embedded into this actress created the right sensation of undervalued genius.
