Career


In 2021, Machado-Graner made his acting debut in the first season of the Arte series In Therapy, portraying the son of the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst played by Frédéric Pierrot.
In 2023, he starred as Daniel, the visually impaired son of Sandra, in Justine Triet's courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Initially seeking blind and visually impaired actors for the role, Triet eventually opened casting to include sighted children. She aimed to cast a blond-haired actor to complement the leading actress Sandra Hüller, who portrays Daniel's mother. However, upon listening to Machado-Graner's audition tape, she invited him for a callback audition in November 2021. Impressed by his emotional transformation and maturity, Triet promptly selected him for the role, likening his audition to Henry Thomas's for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Anthony Lane of The New Yorker wrote that Machado-Graner played the role "with a fine blend of frailty and determination," while Dana Stevens of Slate named him as the best juvenile performer of the year. In November 2023, he was named to Révélations, the shortlist for Best Male Revelation at the César Awards. He also received a nomination for Best Young Actor/Actress at the 29th Critics' Choice Awards. On 24 January 2024, Machado-Graner was nominated for Best Male Revelation at the 49th César Awards.
In 2024, Machado-Graner starred in Arnaud Desplechin's docufiction film Filmlovers!, which celebrates movie theaters.
