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. -

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 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. -

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. -

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!
