Sincere Question: Could Anyone Point Me To a Good Amber Heard Performance?

I just foolishly ventured over to that cesspool that is Twitter where I saw a post make the 'observation' that "Johnny Depp is not a good actor, and only got roles because of his looks" (LOL! Yeah because Depp's looks were on full-display in Edward Scissorhands, his most acclaimed role, and POTC, right?)

Anyway, maybe I'm wrong, but I'll assume that the person attacking Depp here is an Amber Heard supporter. That being the case, I'll assume they believe that, contrary to Depp, Heard is an accomplished actor who didn't get parts because of her looks.

Forgive my 'misogyny' (*sigh* 🙄🤦‍♂️) but I have yet to see these exemplary performances of Heard that her ardent supporters appear to be alluding to (i.e. the same ones who are arguing, for real, on Twitter that the Depp case destroyed her stardom...another honest question: when was she *ever* a 'star'?) Can anyone point me to one of her amazing acting performances?

Yes as soon as she leaks a sex tape.

I'm no fan of porn/sex tapes, but I'm sure those who are will be hoping that it isn't scat porn. 🤢

The Danish Girl.

Some of her movies are not vehicles for great acting. But she does have a presence, and I have often thought she could be in so many films.

She’d be great as Milady in The Three Musketeers. If they remade it. (Depp cleaned up would have made a great Athos.)

Her namesake. Forever Amber. Historical drama that was made in the 40s and bombed. But with Charles III on throne, it would be great to see the 1680s. Charles II. And her as Amber St. Clare.

Maybe Tracy Bond if they ever do On Her Majesty’s Secret Service again.

She can speak Spanish and they like her there. Maybe Spanish cinema. She definitely should be able to make movies. Her audience doesn’t have to be just in the US. Even Depp left. There’s a whole other world outside of the US. Besides US is making horrible movies now. It’s the worst time for films here.

Spain has some very active movie studios. If she really has permanently relocated there, you could be right.

Me encanta España muchisimo. Ciao y gracias. ….Sigo adelante, eso es la vida.
That says it all.

It's really not her fault but producers only want her to play someones pretty girlfriend.
So she actually just has to be seen, of course there are no deep conversations or character development.

I’ve only seen her in Pineapple Express and Aquaman and neither of those movies had any amazing performances.

She was fine in Drive Angry.

Any scene she’s naked in.

She is just an okay actor. I have never been impressed with any of her performances. There are a lot of other better actors.
