Bujold was excellent in the lead. She created a sympathetic character who was easy to root for.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

check her IMDB I was surprised to see she is working regurly in the biz

anyone see her in "the king of hearts" with alan bates??? she was really good in that

She was making French films before and has been doing same since Coma, Tightrope, and any other English speaking films. She is still working, but only in French films, from what I've seen. Obviously, she is fluent in multiple languages.

Um no LorriePaige.
So many actresses are FAR WORSE in EVERY freaking capacity compared to the DIVINE Ms. Bujold these days it's ridiculous. Movies today are so personalized and catered to a specific audience. They are written so that every shot will be a close up that will register on netflix and amazonprime and the whole atmosphere is lost. Same thing with actors. It may seem like the actors are better because every shot is a close up - but what about the actor AND the scene? Genevieve was surrounded by REAL corpses (extras) and made us believe that such a catastrophe within the realms of the hospital politics COULD exist. She was that brilliant.
There is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I cannot stress it enough that there is NO actress today that could pull off in any capacity what Ms. Bujold was able to do. Stupid audiences and stupider movies that cannot accessorize for anything and certainly don't allow the liberty for story that make such magical things possible
You are wrong LorriePaige - it is the joke of young actresses today that have missed out and will NEVER have the opportunity to display there talent (or lack thereof) in the brilliant cinematic way that Ms. Bujold did.

I first discovered her in Alan Rudolph's Choose Me (1984), where she plays Dr Nancy Love. Superb actress, unique and intense.
She's also quite memorable in a small role in Rudolph's Trouble In Mind.
Both worth seeking out if you admire her work.

I couldn't forget her topless nun opposite Christopher Reeve in MONSIGNOR. But I feel that Coma is undoubtedly her best work, and a most stimulating shower indeed.

She sure can take any role and own it, and she does all the time. She seemingly came out of nowhere to become one of my favorite actresses. I'll watch anything with her.

I did indeed see her in "Tightrope," in the theater when it was released. I've been trying to find that one again because lately I've been on a Clint (and Genevieve) kick.
She is a tremendously versatile actress who, in spite of her intense beauty, still seems very approachable and real. She has sophistication, charm and profound talent. How I love this woman!
She is incredible in Tight Rope and Coma. She is very versatile. She can take any role and own it.

Did you see her in Tight Rope?
Out standing actress from the 1970s and 1980s

Superb performance by Ms. Bujold in this, "Dead Ringers" and "Obsession." It's too bad that American films discard most actresses once they have the gaul to turn 30, but Europe has the right idea. She completely carries this film, though the whole cast is very strong.

I found Ms. Bujold's performance in the film fearless and full of conviction. This is one of her best performancesright up there with Dead Ringers.

Ever been to Boston? There are a lot of French Canadians running around.

I saw her in Tightrope with Clint Eastwood and I haven't seen much of her to late date. Possibly, she is up in age and semi retired now?

She also did a very nice job in "Eye of the Beholder" with Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregorshe's got class beauty and intelligence, and has always been a cut above the rest

She is fantastic in this movie and very gorgeous

Very outstanding. She was also in Tight Rope in 1984 and was outstanding.

I actually do not think it is sad unlike in the 70s "big Hollywood movies" usually stink nowadays and Indie movies are far more interesting.

she was great at Coma.she did made films 70s-80s and in early 90s late 80s too.but did she made any films now days

naw her performance was perfect for her character. did u watch the film from the beginning? unless u watch it from the start u might not find her character likable because she is quite cold. she was damn sexy tho.
