It was in the role of crazy "Thumper Wint" in the comedy, Sex and Death 101 (2007) (Simon Baker/Winona Ryder) directed produced by Heathers (1988) writer Daniel Waters, that the critics began to take note of her talent, noting a unique blend of powerful sexuality and irreverent comedy. In both LA and London, Exam (2009) was the next one, nominated BAFTA-nominated as Outstanding British Debut and winner of Best Independent at the Santa Barbara Film Fest, the film's critics said that Pollyanna's character was "smart and sassy equally ....the emotional heart of the film" The film's critics praised her ability to discover the "emotional vulnerability" of her supposedly powerful and tough character. GQ simply said that Pollyanna McIntosh is a great actor is "extremely skilled".
