In the meantime, Suárez appeared in full-length pictures Shiver (Eskalofrío), Cowards (Cowards), Brain Drain (Fuga de cerebros) and The Consul of Sodom (El cónsul de Sodoma), as well as in the short films Universes (Universos) and Hemisphere (Hemisferio).

In 2010, Suárez had her first starring role in Neon Flesh (Carne de neón) opposite Mario Casas. The film was eventually released in 2011. Suárez then starred, along with Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya, Pedro Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In, for which she earned critical acclaim and a Goya Award for Best New Actress nomination. She then went on to star another Antena 3 series The Boat (El Barco), for which she won Fotogramas de Plata Award for Best Television Actress[2] and Ondas Award for Best Actress, as well as a nomination for TP de Oro Award for Best Actress. The Boat aired from 17 January 2011 to 21 February 2013.[3] While working on The Boat, Suárez also appeared in two films that both premiered at the 2012 Málaga Film Festival — the comedy drama film Winning Streak (The Pelayos), which also starred Daniel Brühl, Lluís Homar and Miguel Ángel Silvestre,[4] and Imanol Uribe's post-war drama Orange Syrup (Miel de naranjas) in which she appeared along with Ángela Molina.[5]

(Los amantes pasajeros), an ensemble cast comedy film directed by Pedro Almodóvar.[6] At the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, Suárez was awarded with the Trophée Chopard for Best New Actress for her work in acting; the award was presented to her by Colin Firth.[7]
