Susan's facial expressions distracting?

Agreed. Especially when she and Joe were intimate. There was one view from the top where one eye is sticking out from under Joe and darts, seemingly, erratically to the right. Made me wonder if she had some muscle problem involving the eyes.

quite frankly
it's what made me fall in love with her character.
I thought it was very endearing

Claire is gorgeous, but in this movie, it was like she was teary eyed 95% of the time, even when she was happy! Yes, it was distracting.

I came to this board specifically to see if anyone else was irritated by her face. To me it looks like she's purposely holding her eyes in a half squint for the entire film. And that is beside the near constant change in her facial expression. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

Yes, yes, Thank you, YES! I mean her takes felt like 3 minutes each of "eye games". Great movie though overall, she had good chemistry with Pitt and that score of Thomas Newman So beautiful and haunting! Unbelievable!

I can see the original poster's point. Her expressions were a little over the top sometimes.

Just towards the end of the movie. But I loved her facial expressions early on.

This is called overacting. Too obvious and annoying sometimes.

I felt the same way. I felt like she was trying way too hard.

Her eyes bugged me at times. Though strangely they were sometimes mysterious and attractive and yet other times almost alien. Very strange combination of beauty and yet weirdness

YES! She has gorgeous eyes, but what was up with all the squinting & looking away? Plus, she looked like she was about to cry in every scene.

I'd reply to the OP, but it looks like he never came back once to reply to anybody.
So I get what you all are saying, HOWEVER..
I think what you guys are missing is that she was playing off of Brad Pitt.
Brad was acting like a child almost, everything he did the entire movie was
like it was for the first time. So as he looked thoroughly confused the entire
time, she was also confused at his confusion. If anything I was more
distracted by Brad Pitt's direction than her.
