• Madeline Carroll (Juli Baker): Carroll delivers one of the most mature performances ever given by a child actress. She balances Juli’s earnest vulnerability with an iron will. When she delivers the line, "Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss... but every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent," you forget you are watching a teen actor.
• Callan McAuliffe (Bryce Loski): McAuliffe has the harder job: playing a boy who starts as a shallow coward and must transform into someone worthy of Juli. His physical acting—slouching, avoiding eye contact, stammering—is perfect.
• The Adults: John Mahoney (as grandfather Chet) and Rebecca De Mornay (as Bryce’s mother) provide the moral compass. Chet’s line about Juli being "iridescent" is the film’s thesis statement.
