Holy sh ite.wow let's all start writing essays about O'Connor's talent, good or bad.
I think that she truely is a great actress. She WAS David's mother (her name was Monica right?), she WAS Fanny in Mansfield Park (one of my favorite's and I think her best performance that I've seen). If you look at her filmography in the mid nineties to late nineties you'll notice that she doesn't have too many blockbuster films or at least "above the radar" ones. To get recognition for your talent, sometimes you have to star in some pretty crappy films. After Timeline came out, you'll see that Frances O'Connor has signed on to do quite a few films.
That said, I think that Frances O'Connor is great and with a script like Timeline not even could Meryl Streep make a decent performance. -

Nonsense - Meryl Streep would have given her usual exquisite performance in an otherwise lousy movie. I can't defend FC's performance in Timeline - it was awful. Some of the other actors in Timeline gave good performances in spite of the bad material.

I was first mad when I read this comment because I thought she was amazing in A.I. then I realized I actually saw Timeline and I remember thinking that the girl in it was horrible. I can
t believe its the same girl. She looked younger in Timeline.Paul Walker was pretty bad too. Maybe bad directing? Anyway, sadly I agree.
God love 'em -

Could everyone please just grow up!
She's not going to read this and shrink back at quit. She'll probably burst out laughing/
I'm so sick this negativity. Frances was great in Timeline, only the film should have been more like the book.
I haven't seen AI, I bet it's wonderful.
Look. You can have your opinions, but can't you just be nice and keep your negativity to yourself?

We all do realize that Frances had to "act" opposite Paul Walker in Timeline? That speaks volumes.
She was fine in the role. Little or no acting needed or required for that movie. Though charisma helps, which Gerry Butler had and Paul Walker didn't. But I digress.
I do find Frances a very talented actress. Her lead role in Mansfield is still as charming as ever. She has range, for sure. And I do still love her in A.I. as her role was pivotal to making the relationship between David and his mom work.
While neither possessing exceptional beauty, I believe her to be very pretty. Her eyes give her a grace and intelligence which her acting only enhances.
