For the strongest all-around pick, start with Baby Driver: it pairs Eiza González’s memorable supporting role as Darling with a sharply constructed, music-driven crime thriller. This ranking weighs the film as a whole, González’s place in its cast, and its appeal to different kinds of viewers—not just review scores. She is part of an ensemble in several entries, rather than the lead of every movie.
The list ranges from crime and dark comedy to monster spectacle, action, science fiction, and fantasy. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores below are separate snapshots captured in 2026; they measure reception differently, can change, and are not grades of González’s performance. Rotten Tomatoes figures are shown as critics/audience percentages, followed separately by Metacritic’s Metascore where available.

1. Baby Driver (2017)
González plays Darling, one member of the criminal crew at the center of Edgar Wright’s kinetic crime thriller. The film’s precise editing, driving sequences, and music-synced action make it the most persuasive first stop on this list, even though it is not a González-led vehicle. Its captured Rotten Tomatoes scores are 92% critics and 86% audience; Metacritic lists an 86 Metascore—the strongest combined critical showing among the titles here. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
2. I Care a Lot (2020)
In this dark comedy thriller, González plays Fran, the partner of a ruthless professional guardian played by Rosamund Pike. Fran is a sharp supporting presence in a story built around greed, manipulation, and escalating consequences. The reception split—79% critics and 35% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 66 Metascore on Metacritic—signals that its abrasive humor and morally ugly characters may work better for some viewers than others.

3. Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
González plays Maia Simmons in this effects-heavy monster spectacle, which is best approached for its scale, creature confrontations, and larger-than-life genre premise rather than a González-centered story. Its captured Rotten Tomatoes figures are 75% critics and 91% audience, while Metacritic lists 59. That gap makes it a useful pick for viewers who tend to value crowd-pleasing spectacle over critical consensus. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
4. Ambulance (2022)
As Cam Thompson, González is part of the ensemble in Michael Bay’s high-pressure action thriller about a botched robbery and a desperate escape in an ambulance. The film’s appeal is its sustained momentum and oversized set pieces; it is a stronger match for action fans than for anyone seeking a quiet character study. Rotten Tomatoes’ captured scores are 68% critics and 87% audience; Metacritic lists 55. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
5. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)
González plays Marjorie Stewart in this action-comedy inspired by a wartime covert operation. It offers a breezier, knowingly heightened alternative to the tense crime stories elsewhere on the list. The captured Rotten Tomatoes numbers—68% critics and 91% audience—suggest a much warmer audience response than critic response; Metacritic lists 55. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
6. Cut Throat City (2020)
This crime drama follows a group of friends drawn into a robbery after Hurricane Katrina devastates their New Orleans neighborhood. González appears as Lucinda; Rotten Tomatoes lists her surname as Valencia, while Metacritic lists Benoit, so the discrepancy is left unresolved here rather than presented as settled fact. The captured scores are 72% critics and 38% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, and 67 on Metacritic. It is a worthwhile option for viewers looking for a more grounded crime story than the stylized action picks higher up. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
7. Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
González plays Nyssiana in this science-fiction action film, a fit for viewers who enjoy elaborate futuristic settings and stylized combat. Her role is not the central one, but the movie earns a place as a visually driven genre choice. Rotten Tomatoes’ captured scores are 61% critics and 91% audience, while Metacritic lists 53—a notable audience-critical divide. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic

In this visually distinctive fantasy and science-fiction story, González plays Amarna. Its heightened world and unusual design make it the most offbeat selection here; choose it for atmosphere and speculative ideas rather than conventional action. The captured Rotten Tomatoes scores are 65% critics and 66% audience, and Metacritic lists 49, indicating a more mixed critical response than several entries above. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
9. Ash (2025)
This newer genre credit casts González as Riya. The captured figures are 71% critics and 52% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 63 Metascore on Metacritic. It is a reasonable pick for viewers interested in following her more recent film work, though its position reflects the available reception snapshot rather than a claim that it is a definitive career highlight. Rotten Tomatoes · Metacritic
10. She’s Missing (2019)
This lower-list discovery pick broadens the selection beyond González’s bigger studio genre credits. The captured Rotten Tomatoes listing reports 77% critics and 36% audience, a substantial split that may reflect how differently the film lands with critics and viewers. The available listing does not name González’s role, so this ranking does not characterize her performance or suggest that the film is a starring showcase. Rotten Tomatoes
