“A staggering revelation… a sterling juvenile thespian” – LA Times. “Reminiscent of the wonderful kid-tomboys who dominated movies in the 1970s, fierce kids like Tatum O’Neal, Kristy McNichol, Jodie Foster, Linda Manz” – RogerEbert.com. “Pniowsky is especially phenomenal, a young performer who knows how to express vulnerability or curiosity or anger in a blink…The way she plays all of it is heartbreaking.” – Rolling Stone Magazine.
Anna is a striking and versatile actor who has garnered countless amazing reviews with her turn as Rag in the movie Light of My Life, a deeply emotional drama that sees her carry the lead opposite Academy Award winner Casey Affleck and Emmy winner Elizabeth Moss. In a completely different role, Anna plays popular girl Heather on the Emmy-nominated Hulu original Pen15. She also was a series regular on NatGeo’s Hot Zone, opposite Emmy winners Julianna Margulies and Noah Emmerich. Anna stars opposite Alicia Silverstone and Rob Corddry in the upcoming heartfelt comedy Judy Small, where she shines as the teenage daughter (but real adult in the room).
