I really liked Blake Lively in this role, far more than I expected. I didn't think she was necessarily a good enough actress for a role of this maturity, as I had always found her to be kind of unsure of herself on-screen and in a movie like this she would have to play the role with the self-assurance of a much older woman. However, she was great!
Portman might have also been great, or not. I think she'd kind of stopped trying tbh. She got her Oscar so now she thinks there's no need to work too hard anymore. I love some of her earlier performances but I'm glad they chose Lively for this role. -

I would have disliked Natalie Portman in this film. Especially her voice which I find irritating.
Blake Lively reminded me of a young Lauren Bacall or a 1940s actress. If you haven't watched the movie, why would you think it would have been better with Natalie Portman just because she was originally in talks for it? So was Katherine Heigel. I can't even imagine what a shlockfest that would have been with her in the starring role.
I think Blake Lively was the perfect person to play Adaline.

This is Blake Lively's role! She was and is the best choice. Katherine Heigel and Natalie Portman are not as personable as Blake. Blake is charming and has great chemistry with the cast.
