Juliette Binoche vs Naomi Watts


Which one do you prefer?
Juliette Binoche in Blue or Naomi Watts in 21 grams.

For me..
Juliette Binoche is the best

reply

I totally agree. Binoche has got something special.

So don't. Stay here with me. We'll start a jazz band.

reply

Juliette Binoche by a mile.

reply

Difficult. Very, very difficult but it has to be Juliette (I could've done without the horrible mice/cat episode, though. Yuk!!!).

reply

Yes, that part of the movie was horrible and sad:(

And I prefer Juliette, too. She has something special.

Somewhere over the rainbow...

do you really believe it? naomi watts is better tahn julliet binoche! i don't believe it. binoche knows how to play her characters but if naomi was'nt so beautiful, she never could'nt be successful!

reply

I'd say the best performance I've seen from Naomi Watts is slightly better than the best Binoche performance I've seen, but Binoche is more consistent in her great acting.

I'm a huge fan of La Binoche, but that statement is pure crap. Naomi Watts can act her ass off. Her performances in 21 Grams, Mulholland Dr. and Ellie Parker are among the best I've seen in recent years. There are only a few actresses in Hollywood in her league, and they are much older than her and have names like Streep and Redgrave.

reply

They are both brilliant actors in the right role.
They are both beautiful and successful - it's not a crime.

reply

Binoche hands down.

reply

interesting. i was reminded of 21 grams while watching this movie. eerily similar. anyway i thought watts was the better actress. but binoche has this mystique to her. 21 grams is the better movie, but binoche was sooo amazing.

reply

I disagree on both counts. Binoche is by far the better actress (in Bleu and overall) while 21 Gramms owes a lot to Bleu in the first place

reply



Im in love with Juliette Binoche so i cannot be objective

reply

Juliette Binoche all the way.

I actually believe Naomi Watts to be a rather fine actress but to compare her to Juliette Binoche is a stretch too far. Perhaps with more quality performances under her belt she may one day be comparable to Juliette IMO.

reply

This comparision is outrageous. Juliette Binoche is one of the greatest actors of all time. She can be so forceful,subtle and sublime, all at the same time which is incredible.

reply

It depends. Juliette Binoche in bleu versus Naomi Watts in 21 gramms?
I vote Naomi Watts.
Now if you give me Juliette Binoche in Leo Carax films, that's a whole different ball game...

reply

21 grams was such an easy movie to forget, it's not Iñárritú in his best. I prefer Juliette Binoche and Bleu, by no means.
