She made the transition to film with lead roles in the dramas Emma (1996), Jane Eyre (1997) and the well-received Under the Skin (1997).

For her role in 2006's television biopic Longford, she received an Emmy Award nomination and the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress - Television Film. Morton starred in the dramas Control (2007), Synecdoche, New York (2008) and The Messenger (2009), and she made her directorial debut with the British television film The Unloved (2009), winning the BAFTA Television Award for Best Single Drama. Her most recent acting credits include the science fiction action film John Carter (2012), the thriller Cosmopolis (2012), the drama Decoding Annie Parker (2013), the European limited series The Last Panthers (2015) and the film adaptation Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016).
