It is a testament to Olivia’s takent that a nimrod who CHOOSES to name himself Whitey Peckerwood thinks she can’t act!
She inhabits her roles. She does not play herself. She can play an intelligent character, which means that she has a brain, which endears her to me, because dummies cannot “sell” an intelligent character no matter what dialogue is given them. She rises above crap like Seventh Son and KILLS in class material like Hannah and Counterpart. She’s the kind of actress where I found myself saying, “Oh, that’s her. I remember her. She’s good!” until I now have her name on my neumonic speed-dial.
That is what’s so great about her. I suspect that the list of things the OP “doesn’t get” fills the Library of Congress.
I also suspect that those who accuse her of “overacting” have a personal problem with emotion, hence, gravitate to Marvel comic book movies.
