The only Keanu performance that drew actual mocking and derision was Dracula, and that was almost 30 years ago. The Matrix sequels weren't well received but it had nothing to do with Keanu's performance.

I dunno, the guy has been consistently good but hasn't had a lot of opportunities for award-worthy work, I'm not sure how that makes him someone that needs to be "redeemed". And it's not like JW3 or Toy Story are the type of performances that are putting him on people's awards radar going forward, they're just good movies. And he's good in them, as per usual for Keanu. It's been this way for multiple decades.
