She's self serious and humorless, or at least she comes off that way in public. So what? It's not like she's a terrible person. She doesn't kill children or steal money from retirees.
I certainly wouldn't avoid a movie because she's in it. She's a pretty good actress.
She's a very good actor, at least she was in Room, for which she won an Academy Award. She's okay in Captain Marvel and Endgame, but comes across as a bit stiff and self-conscious at times.
I think she's more of a Hilary Swank type (a brilliant dramatic/character actor) than a more charismatic 'movie star' type like Julia Roberts or Jennifer Lawrence (i.e. actors who excel at playing basically versions of themselves).
From so many of the interviews that I have seen her in she's funny, smart, very private and a bit of an introvert. The Craig Ferguson show is just an example of what she's like:

The majority of this outrage against Brie is just so misinformed and seems to be a by-product of the Internet Outrage Industry.
The main criticism I hear about her is that she's unpopular with her costars. But she appears to get along quite well with Samuel L. Jackson, for example.
But if the rumour is true, and she does tend to be unpopular with other actors - is that seriously the worst thing? I mean, people know many actors who are proud divas/divos and they don't even blink twice at their reputations or boycott movies.
Most of those types find their time in Hollywood affected by they're behavior. Ask Chevy Chase or Katherine Heigl if being difficult has hurt their careers.
shareThe thing is, I've never heard anyone say she was difficult, neither directors nor cast members.
And from what I've read, I've never considered Heigl's behaviour to be difficult. I feel like one comment she made was misconstrued by one director, who publicly shunned her and skewed the public's view of her, and that ruined her career. I've never heard another director speak ill of her - actually, she has been defended.
Regardless, her reputation HAS hurt her career. As far as Brie is concerned, there is a lot of rumurs,which dont equal much, but she has a lot of fan critics who dont care for her and doesn't seem to be cohesive with a lot of her fellow cast members,hence the multiple awkward interviews. Her issue might not be being difficult for directors, but any difficulties are a negative when you are a short resume, middle of the road actress that could be easily replaced by a long line of other attractive women. Ask Terrence Howard just how easy it is.
shareBrie still has a few projects lined up so I don’t think it affecting her all that much.
shareLined up doesn't usually mean a lot in Hollywood, but being a member of the Marvel team is like having a golden ticket, or so it would seem. I don't think she'd have a particularly long career if it weren't for Marvel, but she's in the door for sure. Time will tell, but it seems like most younger Hollywood actors and actresses seem to have much shorter career spans these days anyway.
shareThe entertainment marketplace has changed for almost everything where so much money is made so quickly by up and coming talent that they don't need to have exceptionally long careers any more. Baseball, basketball, Acting, YouTube influencers, you name it, easy fortunes made quickly with large bucks are there and not just for the Early Adopters. Staying power doesn't mean that much in almost any field because so much money flows so quickly. On top of that fans are fickle.
Brie Larson does have talent and a high degree of both conviction and people can question her integrity but she appears sincere in her pursuits. Studio systems used to be in vogue and Disney is bringing that back in a big way.
Even before Brie Larson was A-list she always seems to find work in the business.
shareHere I come. Hem (skip if keeping it real isn’t worth your time lol)...
She's self-righteous and humorlessBoy, you’ve been listening to too much of that anti-diversity, anti-feminist, anti-human decency, anti-reality propaganda coming from butthurt right wingers they got you seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. Either that or she does come off that way to you. Not enough smiling? Oh boy. We’re clearly seeing different things.
As a actress she's very good, and don't think many would dispute that. Not everything she does is great but when she's good she's very good.
But she definitely comes off like a very self important and I could imagine she's not the easiest to be around if you are a actor. She seems the type to get upset over anything. That critic thing just mad her come off like a bit of a dick.
I've seen her in many things over the years and I've always enjoyed her performances (until Captain Marvel). She did well as a lead and stood out as a side character, always making me wish for more.
I have no interest in actors' personal lives, so I had no idea what she was like in public until recently. Can't say I was impressed. Nonetheless, I still very much appreciate her as an actress and disagreeing with her opinions/attitude isn't gonna make me stop watching and enjoying her stuff.
