Alexandra Daddario once again proved her incredible versatility as an actress with her haunting performance as Margaret in Lost Girls & Love Hotels.

The 2020 film, based on Catherine Hanrahan’s novel, explores isolation, desire, and self-discovery in Tokyo — and Daddario delivers a role unlike anything fans had seen from her before.

A Risky, Raw Transformation

Known for her luminous presence in projects like Percy Jackson and True Detective, Alexandra stripped away glamour to fully embody Margaret, an English teacher lost in the neon-lit chaos of Tokyo.

Vulnerable yet magnetic, she dives deep into the character’s search for meaning and intimacy, showcasing a darker, more fragile side of her craft.

Tokyo as a Character

The film is more than just a love story; it’s a journey through Tokyo’s hidden underworld. With dimly lit bars, fleeting encounters, and the bittersweet beauty of loneliness, Alexandra’s Margaret finds herself in places where hope collides with despair. Her chemistry with her co-star, Takehiro Hira, adds to the hypnotic allure of the film.

Alexandra’s Boldest Role Yet

Fans and critics alike hailed her performance as one of her most daring to date. By taking on Margaret, Daddario shattered preconceived notions about her typecast roles and showed the world that she can carry the weight of complex, emotionally charged storytelling.

It was a turning point in her career — one that reminded Hollywood of her depth, range, and undeniable talent.
