she feels dull and cold to me

It is mandatory for me to watch every movie she stars in
I was just watching
Alice Through the Looking Glass
and my she carries the movie on her shoulders because of her emotions. Getting better and better.
I wish I would see more in the future.
to her!

When she's given the right material (Tracks, for instance), she's virtually peerless.
You four-eyed psycho.

I'm yet to see her actually act, never seen blander performace in a big budget movie than "Alice in Wonderland", also she was so-so in "Crimson Peak"

First saw her in "Stoker" and I've been hooked ever since
By the time "Stoker" came around I'd already been deeply impressed by "In Treatment" and "Jane Eyre", and everything else I'd seen her in - "Stoker" kind of came out of left field and, combined with her other performances, solidified my sense that her talent was extraordinary.
The way she acts gives me glimpses of the characters inner thoughts/emotions.
And the way she does it I find kind of mysterious, because her performances seem to grow even deeper with re-watching. I think her acting engages the imagination - it's kind of open-ended. As you said, Mia becomes the characters. She's like a super-sensitive tuning fork for the emotions.

I completely agree. First saw her in "Stoker" and I've been hooked ever since.
Definitely one of the best in her generation. The way she acts gives me glimpses of the characters inner thoughts/emotions. She makes me understand the character better than other actresses these days.

If this refers to my post, not sarcastic at all. I'm being completely sincere here.

This sounds like sarcasm.

Agreed. That scene in the morgue is heartbreaking. She is my favorite actress right now

I agree, those characters were like archetypes, but, at the same time, Mia, Tom and Jessica played them with real humanity - it was beautiful, but actually a very tragic story. Mia's scene in the morgue was heartbreaking.

I like she does roles with depth and character. Great to watch and has a very appealing natural beauty. great in Crimson Peak though all 3 leads were and played off each other brilliantly.

She will take smaller parts on the strength of the project (director/writer/co-stars),
yet she's offered these great leading roles because she's just that good at her job.
Case in point: she was willing to take quite a small, nothing-special role in Lawless because of the director (John Hillcoat) and that killer cast (except Shia LaBozo, but nobody's counting him anyway).
You four-eyed psycho.

Totally agree!

She's my favorite actress of my generation.
Adele Exarchopoulos (on the strength of her extraordinary work in "Blue is the Warmest Color" alone), Rooney Mara, Lea Seydoux, Carey Mulligan, Jennifer Lawrence, are all extremely talented, but Mia is my number 1. She's incredibly versatile, subtle, nuanced, and comes across as an extremely smart, sensitive, and humble young woman. She may have done Alice in Wonderland (who would turn it down?) but she's obviously not in the game for the money and fame. She will take smaller parts on the strength of the project (director/writer/co-stars), yet she's offered these great leading roles because she's just that good at her job. She has a very special aura, and I wish her a very long career.
Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

Cool! Thanks heaps for sharing.

Life is very long when you are lonely.

Do you know that Mia's "Madame Bovary" is coming out soon - June 12.
This article appeared today in the Sunday entertainment section of the New York Times.
Ms. Wasikowska, having already been Jane Eyre and Alice in Wonderland, is now something of a specialist in literary heroines and does a lot of acting here just with her eyes. I think she could be in silent films, Ms. Barthes said.

Emma Bovary isn't like Jane Eyre, she's an anti-heroine.

I agree.

She becomes her characters so perfectly that you might even not recognize her at first, when you watch a film in which she plays. That's a fine trait IMHO.
That's her chameleon ability. I can't think of any actor of her generation that can disappear so completely like that, where she looks, sounds and moves like a whole other person. Take a role like Mia in "Jane Eyre" and compare her to her Ava in "Only Lovers Left Alive" - it's hard to see her as being the same person.

Well said. She becomes her characters so perfectly that you might even not recognise her at first, when you watch a film in which she plays. That's a fine trait IMHO.

Yeah, equal parts sensitivity and intensity, well said. She's had some great costars, too - Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddelston, Julianne Moore, Nichole Kidman, and more. Mia's got a certain gravity that draws you in.
