Multiple-award winning Boland was dubbed “the exact mid-point between Emma Stone and Carey Mulligan” by Indiewire. She has more than 85 credits to her name, with her work having been shown in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival and TIFF.
Her resume includes Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, CW’s Reign, Bruce La Bruce’s Gerontophilia, and the forthcoming Apple + Show from Academy Award winning John Ridley, Five Days at Memorial alongside Vera Farmiga and Cherry Jones.
After a robust career as an actress, Boland has most recently focused on creating for herself. Her feature film directorial debut, We’re All In This Together, in which she plays twins, has had a large festival run and will be released across Canada and in America in 2022.
select reviews of previous work:
The Seahawk said, “The film also boasts strong acting, especially by Boland who plays both Finn and Nicki, and by Burns who plays the mother. Boland filmed herself playing both twin sisters, sometimes using another performer as an onscreen double—though some viewers may not even notice that Boland plays both roles, as Finn and Nicki feel distinct from one another as characters. “We’re All In This Together” signals a promising future for star and filmmaker Boland.” - in '“We’re All In This Together”
TheMovieIsle said, “Boland was so convincing that I had to keep reminding myself that these were not two different actors sharing the screen. Boland has shown in We’re All in This Together that she can spin several plates at once, and the film is certainly evidence of bright things ahead for its creator.” - in “We’re All In This Together”
ShortOfTheWeek said, “Boland portrays the title character with commendable subtlety, fleshing out the confusion of the young woman compellingly. It’s a complicated duality to inhabit, exposing the character’s vulnerable side without taking away her confidence. Boland wows.” - in “Lolz-Ita”
Variety said “devastating…(Boland) is everything (she) should be,” - in “The Fall”
NextProjection said, “In a remarkable performance, Boland is sympathetic but also allows herself to be self-destructive, impulsive and flawed.” - in “Looking Is The Original Sin”
The National Post remarked that “(Boland) delivers a strong, complicated character who stands out amidst a compelling crew.” - for “People Hold On”
The Muff Society called Boland, “Absolutely amazing,” in “Cardinals”
Original Cin said, “Of the strong cast, Boland stands out,” and The Gate said, “(Boland’s) quietly simmering performance builds to one of the story’s most memorable and impressionable sequences,” in “Cardinals”
PopMatters said, “Boland totally aces her role as the endearing hipster girlfriend who’s forever quoting her cultural idols, that girl (Boland) is positively hypnotic every moment she spends on screen,” in “Gerontophilia”
Screendaily called her “vivacious… a breath of fresh air when she is on screen, offering a quirky sense of fun and left field humour,” in “Gerontophilia”
