Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) a strong but insignificant loyalist

Ozark, the American crime drama television series, has been one of the most talked-about shows in recent years. With its intriguing plotline and an exceptional cast, it has captured the attention of audiences worldwide. Created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, the show premiered on Netflix in 2017 and has been a hit ever since. The show follows the story of the Byrde family as they navigate their way through the dangerous world of drug cartels and money laundering.

Julia Garner’s performance as Ruth Langmore

What sets Ozark apart from other crime dramas is its outstanding cast. The show boasts an exceptional lineup of actors who have delivered some of the best performances of their careers. From Jason Bateman’s portrayal of the show’s lead character, Marty Byrde, to Laura Linney’s masterful performance as his wife, Wendy, the show is full of standout performances. But it is Julia Garner who truly steals the show.

Tom Pelphrey’s performance as Ben Davis had been flawless in Ozark. But, Ruth Langmore, a character brilliantly portrayed by Julia Garner, has been the best in Ozark. Julia Garner is another actor in the series who performed brilliantly apart from Tom Pelphrey.

Garner’s performance as Ruth Langmore is nothing short of brilliant. She brings a level of complexity to the character that makes her one of the most intriguing characters on the show. Ruth is a tough, street-smart young woman who is forced to work with the Byrde family after they take over her family’s criminal enterprises. Garner’s portrayal of Ruth captures both her vulnerability and her strength, making her a character that audiences can’t help but root for.

Performance along with other actors

But it’s not just Garner’s performance that makes Ozark a must-watch. The show’s intricate plotline, filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The tension-filled atmosphere of the show is heightened by the stunning cinematography and the show’s haunting score. Ozark is a show that is not to be missed, and with the final season on the horizon, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Byrde family’s story.

Julia Garner’s performance in Ozark has received critical acclaim and has been praised by audiences worldwide. Her portrayal of Ruth Langmore has cemented her as one of the most talented young actors in Hollywood today. Garner’s ability to bring depth and nuance to her characters is unparalleled, and her work in Ozark is a testament to her exceptional talent.

Garner’s performance has not gone unnoticed by the industry, either. She has received numerous award nominations for her work on the show, including two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, which she won in 2019 and 2020. It’s clear that Garner’s work in Ozark has made her a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

She is one individual who has shown immense strength to stand along with Byrdes. Unlike Byrdes, whose primary objective is to stay alive, hers is to earn a respectable job with a good salary. Her only goal is to have a better life for Langmores. And to achieve that, she has been a loyalist to Marty Byrde.

Ruth’s relationship with her father

At first, viewers may have perceived Ruth Langmore (portrayed by Julia Garner) as a low-life individual who would eventually meet her demise at the hands of the cartel due to her excessive greed. However, as the series progressed, it was revealed that her desire for wealth and power stemmed from an extreme fear of her physically abusive father, Cade Langmore (portrayed by Trevor Long). Ruth’s body language conveyed her fear and distress whenever she interacted with her father, especially when he was released from prison on parole. Although sexual abuse was hinted at, it was later revealed that Cade was physically assaultive and had a quick temper.

Ruth’s body language displayed signs of fear and distress when she interacted with her father, especially during their meeting in prison. She was similarly uncomfortable when Cade returned from jail on parole, as he had previously assaulted her. His short temper, criminal tendencies, and resistance to positive change in the lives of the Langmores caused Ruth extreme distress.

Even though Cade had been a terrible individual, his love for Ruth could be seen when he was ready to fight the cartel, all alone. In another incident, he killed an FBI agent in rage when the latter said inappropriately about his daughter. Cade had been an important character, as his presence, actions, and thoughts greatly affected Ruth.

Her love for her father became evident when she came to see his corpse. However, she took Marty as a father figure, as the former lacked compassion as a human being. In one of the episodes in season three, she even compared herself with his daughter Charlotte Byrde. To be part of a regular happy family, she looked upon Byrdes.

It seems that she was looking forward to the betterment of Langmores. But her father shattered her belief by telling her that they were Langmores and their misery shall never change, as that was their fate and destiny. She hoped Marty would help.

Ruth’s loyalty toward Marty

Speaking of the betterment of Langmores, she made the difficult decision of killing her uncles to protect Marty. She knew that if Marty survived, he might pay her for her loyalties, eventually benefiting her and her cousins.

But her integrity never got her anything other than pain. She was brutally tortured for hours by the cartel, lost her family members, and got savagely assaulted by Frank Jr. Cosgrove, the son of the head of the Kansas City Mob. And above all, she lost the love of her life, Ben. She now believes that while she made extreme sacrifices for Marty, he, on the other hand, never took a stand for her, especially in saving Ben.

The change and its repercussions

The season three finale brings a change in the character of Ruth (Julia Garner) when she joins hands with Darlene Snell. Her character has evolved. However, her beliefs are different than the core reality. Marty did all that he could do. He even tried saving Ben. Her hate and anger are justified. But from her perspective, she is far from the whole truth.

So, we may first witness a revolt from her that may result in her death by the cartel. The other result could be her realization of the truth and coming back to support the Byrdes. Who knows, probably Ben never died.

To speculate with an optimistic perspective, by the finale of Ozark, we may see her as the kingpin running the cartel or may join Byrdes as a family, living a beautiful life. But as Marty says, “That’s a bunch of crap. Things happen because human beings make decisions, they commit acts, and that makes things happen. And it creates a snowball effect with the, you know, their world around them, causes other people to make decisions”.

In conclusion, Ozark is a show that stands out not only for its captivating plotline and exceptional cast but also for the outstanding performance of Julia Garner. Her portrayal of Ruth Langmore is one of the most memorable and complex characters in recent television history. With the final season on the horizon, it’s clear that Garner’s work in Ozark will continue to be a defining moment in her career.
