During the 2000s, Kulesza played many supporting roles in film and worked as voice over actor in more than 20 animated features.[5] On television, Kulesza starred alongside Magdalena Walach and Marzena Trybała in the Polsat drama series, Pensjonat Pod Róza (2004—2006) about three women in small hotel. From 2006 to 2007 she starred in the Hela w opalach, a Polish remake of American sitcom Grace Under Fire. In 2008 Kulesza, alongside her professional partner Stefano Terrazzino, won the eighth series of Dancing with the Stars: Taniec z gwiazdami.[6] She donated her winnings, a Porsche car, to an auction to benefit the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.[7] In 2009 she starred in the short-lived sitcom Synowie and in 2011 was a regular cast member in the telenovela Prosto w serce, a remake of Argentine series, You Are the One. Since 2011, she has regularly performed at the Ateneum Theatre, also in Warsaw.[6][8]
2011—2014: Breakthrough
[edit]In 2011, Kulesza was seen in three drama films: Ki by Leszek Dawid, Suicide Room by Jan Komasa playing the mother of lead character, and Rose by Wojciech Smarzowski, playing the titular character. Suicide Room premiered at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival and received positive reviews from critics while Kulesza's performance was noted.[9] Meanwhile, Rose premiered at Warsaw Film Festival and won Grand Prix and later won seven Polish Film Awards.[10][11] For her performance in Rose, Kulesza received positive reviews from film critics,[12][13] and was listed as one of the best in 2011 by Culture.pl.[14] Kulesza won her first Polish Academy Award for Best Actress for her role Róża, a Masurian widow who falls in love a Home Army soldier. That same year, she was given a special award from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage recognising her acting career, as well as the Złota Kaczka awarded by Film magazine.[15][16]
In 2013, Kulesza starred in the period drama film, Ida directed by Paweł Pawlikowski. Playing Wanda Gruz, a Communist resistance fighter turned state prosecutor, Kulesza received widespread acclaim.[17][18] David Denby from The New Yorker noted that "Wanda tells her of her past in brief fragments, and Kulesza does more with those fragments—adding a gesture, a pause—than anyone since Greta Garbo, who always implied much more than she said."[19] Dana Stevens wrote that "As played, stupendously, by the veteran Polish TV, stage, and film actress Agata Kulesza, Wanda is a vortex of a character, as fascinating to spend time with as she is bottomlessly sad."[20] Jose Solis from PopMatters named her Best Supporting Actress writing: "Kulesza also allows her character’s flaws to show in heartbreaking ways, especially when we least expect it to. Watch the way she reacts to Trzebuchowska’s subtle horror upon realizing her parents, fate, it’s a moment where we see the actress hold back out of what we will come to understand as love, or at least the only kind of love she knows how to provide. Where Ida could’ve simply been a film about the effects of WWII in Poland, the characters at its center make it so much more than that, and Kulesza in particular will prove to haunt you for weeks after you’ve seen the film."[21] Ida won the 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the first Polish film to do so.[22] It had been selected as Best Film of 2014 by the European Film Academy and as Best Film Not in the English Language of 2014 by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Kulesza was awarded the Best Actress prize at the 38th Gdynia Film Festival, and won her second Polish Academy Award for Best Actress. Kulesza also went on to be nominated for the Paszport Polityki. Internationally, Kulesza won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress, Chlotrudis Award for Best Supporting Actress,[23] and received nomination for National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress and European Film Award for Best Actress.[24] In 2014, Kulesza received Order of Polonia Restituta and Gloria Artis Medal for Merit to Culture.[25]
After her breakthrough, Kulesza began appearing in various feature films and television productions. She co-starred opposite Bartłomiej Topa in the crime drama film Traffic Department (2013), the romantic comedy Wszystkie kobiety Mateusza (2013), the period LGBT-romantic thriller In Hiding (2013), the drama The Mighty Angel (2014), the action thriller Secret Wars (2014) and the comedy film All About My Parents, for which she received another Polish Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. On television, Kulesza starred in the TVP2 comedy series, Family.pl (2011–2020). From 2012 to 2015 she played the leading role in the Canal+ crime drama series, Blood for the Blood receiving positive reviews for her performance.[5][26]
2015—present: Continued screen work
[edit]In 2015, Kulesza starred in the comedy-drama film, These Daughters of Mine, for which she received another Polish Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. In 2015 she starred in the Polish version of Showtime comedy series, Web Therapy. In 2016, Zwierciadło magazine awarded Kulesza their Crystal Mirror award for "acting of the highest quality".[27] That year, she turned down an offer to play Beata in the political satire series The Chairman's Ear.[28] Also in 2016, Kulesza starred in four movies: the critically acclaimed drama The Innocents,[29] the crime drama Dark Crimes opposite Jim Carrey, the crime drama I'm a Killer about serial killer Zdzisław Marchwicki, and the comedy-drama Joy in the World. In The Innocents directed by Anne Fontaine, Kulesza played Mother Superior, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival with positive reception. She received positive reviews for her performance.[30] Film critic Stephen Holden from The New York Times wrote: "The most complicated and compelling character is the severe Mother Abbess, who faces an excruciating choice between saving a baby’s life and risking disgrace, or abandoning the infant. Ms. Kulesza’s anguished performance conveys the weight of an almost unbearable choice, which she believes condemns her to eternal damnation."[31] In Dark Crimes directed by Alexandros Avranas, Kulesza made her American film debut. Despite some praise for the cast, critics panned Dark Crimes for its pacing, overly downcast tone, and objectionable presentation of abused women. It is one of the worst-reviewed films of 2018, holding a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[32] In I'm a Killer, Kulesza played the unfaithful wife of main character, for this role she learnt Silesian language.[5] For this performance she received her first Polish Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[33][34]
In 2017, Kulesza starred in the drama film Once Upon a Time in November directed by Andrzej Jakimowski playing the homeless mother who with her adult son are evicted from their flat and struggle to find safe place in a homeless shelter.[35][36] The following year, Kulesza starred in the historical drama film, Cold War directed by Paweł Pawlikowski.[37] The film premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival received numerous accolades, including three nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, and four at the 72nd BAFTA Film Awards, as well as six awards from seven nominations at the 31st European Film Awards, winning the main Best Film Award. Kulesza was nominated for Polish Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.[38] The same year she played the lead in the drama film Playing Hard playing the 40-year-old prosecutor Dorota, with alcohol addiction.[5] The performance gained her another Polish Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.[39] From 2017 to 2019 she starred in the AXN crime drama series, Ultraviolet.

The Hater premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in the International Narrative Competition and won Best International Narrative Feature award.[43] The film received positive reviews from critics,[44] while Kulesza was nominated for Polish Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. In Never Gonna Snow Again she played wealthy drug-taking widow,[45][46] for which she received another Polish Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. In 25 Years of Innocence, Kulesza played the mother of falsely accused for rape and was imprisoned for 25 years, receiving positive reviews for her role.[47] Screendaily critic Tim Grierson wrote in his review: "Avoiding emotional fireworks, Kulesza subtly communicates Teresa’s beaten-down resilience — she conveys how much the son’s imprisonment has taken out of Teresa through quiet, unimaginable weariness."[48] At the 2021 Polish Film Awards, she received award for Best Actress.[49]
In 2021, Kulesza starred in the dark comedy film, The Wedding directed by Wojciech Smarzowski. The performance gained her another Polish Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.[50] Later in 2021, Kulesza began starring in the Player.pl crime drama series, The Convict playing the role of Judge Alicja Mazur who accused of a murder she did not commit.[51] The series ended in 2024, after four seasons. In 2023 she appeared in the drama film, Green Border directed by Agnieszka Holland. The film competed for the Golden Lion at the 80th Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize.[52][53] In 2024 she returned to stage starring in the play Mother.[54][55]

... from the beginning, I was thrown into a state of awe by the movie's fervent austerity. Friends have reported similar reactions: if not awe, then at least extreme concentration and satisfaction. This compact masterpiece has the curt definition and the finality of a reckoning—a reckoning in which anger and mourning blend together.
