Much like with Ryan Gosling, to say Chastain had a breakout year is an understatement. She received raves for her role as a Mossad agent in The Debt, received arguably the best notices of anyone in Take Shelter, impressed in The Tree of Life and was part of the ensemble cast that did so much to make The Help such a success. And the Californian also cropped up in Texas Killing Fields and Coriolanus.
