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!

Great piece on Tufts Daily. I thought was about the author going off to college as it mentions Mia in The Kids are All Right. Instead, it's actually about Mia, specifically "the look" that she deftly portrays onscreen.

A really nice interview by Vanity Fair (Krista Smith) at TFF with Mia, re three films at the festival. Short but sweet.

Good post OP and others. I'm not a big fan but I do like her in what I've seen her in. Strong performances, sometimes great subtlety. I really like seeing this kind of attitude and maturity towards acting in an actor/actress, especially while still so young. IMO that all bodes well for her now and as her career progresses.

Of course it matters, as Mia is part Polish, let's not forget. She'd be perfect for Polanski movies or even Kieslowski. Mia is really laid back, subtle and focused on her work, which may have to do with her Polish heritage. I hope she keeps making the best of it!

Just a quick word from Poland (not that it matters where it's from - just saying). Hope she keeps up the good work. Her acting makes me smile to myself while watching and that's rare. Many thanks. Shine on!

Well, I really appreciated reading that piece on Mia's acting approach. Thank you. The writer did an excellent job of expressing so much of what I find fascinating about her work. You can go into the detail of what she's doing and then, of course, you can go into the intangibles, but sometimes that's like trying to explain the poetic, not everyone is into that way of perceiving things (for those who are you only need a code word or two). I also see her portrayals as distinctly different people: look at her character in "Restless" followed by her performance in "Jane Eyre", then compare that to Sophie from "In Treatment", completely different postures and physical attitudes. The same thing holds true for her vocal characteristics - not just the accents (which are spot on - the american accent in "Restless" is quite different from "In Treatment" as it is from the "Stoker" accent) but also the timbre of the voice. And of course this is all done in a seamless, naturalistic way that doesn't draw attention to itself - it's there to draw you into the character. Mia is obviously extremely perceptive and has an eye and an ear for detail, plus the discipline to execute it. I would think that her years of serious involvement in ballet must have strengthened that discipline and body consciousness like the muscle in a prima ballerina's calve. But for me this is all in the service of a soulfulness that's rare in actors but is what I feel separates the great ones from the brilliant technicians. The fact that she's able to perform with this level of sophistication and self-awareness at her age is also astounding.

Hey, thanks for posting that. The author also posts on here as gregoriancant, and he's another one of our long-poster posse who hangs out in here on occasion. You might like this piece as well:

Yeah, I saw Jarmusch, Swinton, Hiddleston, and John Hurt all standing together at Cannes - Mia would have made it quite a picture. From what I heard Hiddlelston had some real difficulties making it, transportation wise. With all the films Mia W. has on the fire, who knows what she was doing, or where. "Only Lovers Left Alive" was well received and I'm looking forward to seeing it now that it's got Sony Classics for north american distribution. It would have been nice, though, to have seen Mia at Cannes. She's rather shy, and I know this isn't her favorite thing, but it still would have been nice . . . for us.

Sadly, she was a no-show at Cannes this year for the OLLA premiere. sob Maybe she didn't want to go after having attended the past two years in a row.
"And there sure as hell ain't no vista of no views."

Well said. I am a fan of hers as well. I just need to come to the board more often. I really like her diverse choices for roles. She might not have the hypes as some other young actresses but she is quietly building her reputation and I believe it will pay off.5b4

I think she has rapidly earned a lot of cred for her tremendous range as an actress and her ability to be totally convincing in extremely diverse parts. She also has a great ability for doing accents - she has a wonderful ear, besides a perceptive eye. She hasn't painted herself into a corner by being typecast and I think she's smart to be taking all these darker parts, too, as of late. I think she's wisely preparing herself for a long career, not just being another flash-in-the-pan.

That was fun to look at - very impressive variety of roles for just three years.

From Tumblr (don't hold that against me): quite a diverse mix of roles she's played over just the past three years, with a nice quote presumably from the Stoker press rounds.

"And there sure as hell ain't no vista of no views."

Well put - Mia Wasikowska is unbelievably mature and doesn't seem to be taken in at all by the whole fame game, celebrity industry - she focuses on her creative life. I think her new role in David Cronenberg's "Map to the Stars" is, in this context, pretty ironic as she plays a celebrity-obsessed, disfigured schizophrenic, a reflection of pop culture's soul-sucking disease. I'm sure Mia will dig down deep into that part, too.

Not only grace in her movie choices, but in how she's also been able (so far) to keep her professional and private lives completely separate. There aren't too many in her peer group who can pull that off.
I read a comment a few months ago on LJ that sums it up perfectly: "She's an
actor
actor, not a celebrity."
"And there sure as hell ain't no vista of no views."

I'm with Swingwell said.
There is a tremendous amount of grace in Mia's film choices. She played it perfectly; land a huge role like Alice in Wonderland to make a name for herself and then she gets to pick and choose which Indie films she wants to dothat film makers are begging her to do.
Even though there is a risk of financing falling through on any particular Indie project, she has a pretty good success rate. The films she chooses usually get made and released. Maybe her name being tied to the project helps.
She's in a great position. I hope God's grace continues to shine on her.

Well said, my friend. Well said.
