Sadie Sink's Filmography Ranked: From Best To Worst

When she debuted in season 2 of Stranger Things, Sadie Sink immediately stood out and felt like a star in the making. That was taken to the next level when she was the standout during the show's stellar season 4, including being part of the series' most iconic scene. Her film career has now started to take off.

Sink has appeared in a handful of indie films, an underrated horror trilogy, an Oscar winner, and more. 2026 is set to be even bigger for her, with a much-hyped role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day that could lead to bigger things in the MCU. For now, it's interesting to see how her filmography shakes out against each other.

A Sacrifice (2024)

A Sacrifice ranks at the bottom of Sadie Sink's filmography and it is also likely the movie that people know the least. This psychological thriller arrived in 2024 and sees Sink star alongside veterans like Eric Bana and Sylvia Hoeks.

The premise of A Sacrifice centers on Ben Monroe (Bana), a social psychologist in Berlin who is investigating a nearby cult after a mass suicide. While he's focused on that, Ben also deals with the arrival of his daughter Mazzy (Sink), who gets caught up in the city's underground party scene.

Based on Nicholas Hogg's novel of the same name, A Sacrifice had an intriguing setup but didn't receive the best reviews. It only has a 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with criticism going towards the tedious pacing. Sink delivers a quality performance, though.

O'Dessa (2025)

The most recent entry in Sadie Sink's filmography is O'Dessa. Released directly to Hulu after a debut at the South By Southwest Festival, this movie allowed Sink to show off one of her many talents, which is singing. This is a Tony Award-nominated actor who once played Annie on the stage, after all.

O'Dessa is set in a post-apocalyptic world and retells the famous Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Sink plays the titular O'Dessa Galloway, a farm girl who embarks on a quest to find a family heirloom. Along the way, she meets her true love and must use music to help save his soul.

Sink is joined by Regina Hall, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Murray Bartlett, among others, to form a solid cast. O'Dessa was ultimately met with lackluster reviews, though pretty much everyone agrees that Sink's performance is the highlight as she rises above it all to deliver the goods.

Eli (2019)

Part of the reason that Sadie Sink is a modern scream queen is her work in Eli. While she's certainly most known for Stranger Things, she also appeared in this Netflix supernatural horror movie that's done on a much smaller scale. That scale really allows the actors to shine.

Eli focuses on a young boy with a rare illness who is taken to a private medical facility to try to find a cure. While there, supernatural entities begin to haunt him and nobody really seems to believe him except for a teen girl named Haley, who chooses to help him.

Sink portrays Haley and is once again, one of the better aspects of the movie. She works well with protagonist Charlie Shotwell, while the rest of the cast includes Lili Taylor and Kelly Reilly. Eli received mixed reviews and is considered a relatively solid entry into the supernatural horror subgenre.

The Glass Castle (2017)

Shortly before she made her big debut in Stranger Things, Sadie Sink got to appear in this indie film with some of the best actors working in Hollywood today. The cast includes Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Sarah Snook, and Naomi Watts, with Sink playing the younger version of Snook's character.

The Glass Castle is based on Jeannette Walls' 2005 novel of the same name and is a look at her childhood experiences as a member of a family of squatters. Snook and Sink play Lori, Jeanette's sister, at different parts of their lives.

The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who Sink will team back up with for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The Glass Castle is another film that was met with a mixed response, including a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Sink doesn't have a huge role, yet again does quality work.

Chuck (2016)

The earliest movie in Sadie Sink's filmography came over a year before she started playing Max Mayfield. It's also a different kind of project for her, as Chuck is a biographical sports drama that tells the story of Chuck Wepner, a heavyweight boxer known for being tough and reckless.

The titular Chuck is played by Liev Schreiber, while Elisabeth Moss and Naomi Watts play two of his wives. Sadie Sink pops up in a supporting role as Kimberly, Chuck's daughter. She's part of a pivotal scene where, at a parent-teacher conference, Chuck shows up high on cocaine.

Grossing less than $1 million, Chuck (also known as The Bleeder in Ireland and the UK) is something of a hidden gem, especially given its 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was an early look at the talent that Sink has, even when she's not given much screen time.

Dear Zoe (2022)

By the time 2022 rolled around, Sadie Sink started to land bigger roles. In Dear Zoe, she's the lead actor and she shows off her impressive acting talents. Based on a 2005 novel of the same name, Dear Zoe tells a tragic story of a teen girl dealing with the loss of her younger sister.

Sink plays Tess DeNunzio, a 16-year-old who moves in with her father after blaming herself for the death of her 3-year-old sister and learning that her mother was having an affair with a younger man. That leaves her to deal with the troubles of growing up and dealing with her grief and guilt.

For the most part, reviews for Dear Zoe were good. Most of the praise went to the performances of Sadie Sink and Theo Rossi, who formed an intriguing father/daughter duo on the screen. This showed the world that Sink could be a leading lady in Hollywood.

The Whale (2022)

The biggest movie that Sadie Sink has been part of so far is The Whale. Based on the 2012 play of the same name, the drama received all sorts of acclaim when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival, with the performances of both Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink getting the most discussion.

The Whale tells the story of Charlie (Fraser), a reclusive English teacher suffering from obesity who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Sink) and redeem himself before the likely end of his life. Both actors deliver stellar performances, with Fraser winning Best Actor at the Oscars.

Sink landed a nomination at the Critics' Choice Awards and is part of the movie's most emotional scene. Although reviews outside of their acting weren't totally sparkling and the movie was controversial, this is a film to watch if you want to see powerhouse work by Sadie Sink.

Fear Street: 1666 (2021)

More people should talk about how good Netflix's Fear Street trilogy is. The fourth film in the series was poorly received in 2025, but the three that arrived in 2021 were all met with widespread acclaim and rank among the best modern horror films around.

Sadie Sink wasn't part of the first installment but is a key player in the next two legs. Fear Street: 1666 is the final entry, which takes the story back several centuries and is more of a witchcraft tale than the slashers that you get from the first two. Sink appears as Constance, one of the girls in the 1600s.

A lot of audience members consider this to be the best entry in the series, though Sink's part is smaller than it is in the prior installment. She does her usual good work here, yet she's not the focal point of the 1600s and when things go back to the present, she's not part of that.

Fear Street: 1978 (2021)

She might not be in part one and her role in the third is limited, but the second Fear Street movie is basically a Sadie Sink showcase. The first film deals with a killing spree in 1994, while the second has Ziggy Berman (Gillian Jacobs) retell the story of a similar attack that happened in 1978.

Sadie Sink plays a young Ziggy and is the final girl in this '70s era slasher set at a summer camp. It's the kind of role that has made so many final girls iconic over the years and Sink delivers in spades. She works well alongside Emily Rudd, who plays her sister, to form a formidable on-screen duo.

Fear Street: 1978 holds an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as an 81% rating on the Popcornmeter. It has gone down as one of Netflix's best original horror movies ever and is the crown jewel of Sink's movie career, further cementing that she's a true star and a tremendously talented actor.
