Kim Dickens
Should have been nominated for Supp. Actress for this film
shareI totally agree. Unfortunately I don't think the film garnered enough attention. Highly overlooked film.
shareTotally disagree. She's the only flaw in the film. She's totally miscast. She's not attractive, her bland face, with overplucked eyebrows is really annoying and painful to stare at the whole film. Her acting is awful. Horrible. At least be attractive if you're going to be awful.
shareI'm going to totally disagree with you James. I have read through some of your other posts here and found them thoughtful even when I disagreed with them. Maybe it's a matter of age (I'm in my late 40's) and living through those times. I first saw this film in its theatrical release and now in its entirety on netflix. I can say its a small film that has stuck with me through the years. Kim is very attractive and quite in her times and character in the film. Would you expect a female EMT in the late 90's to be wearing lots of makeup and have a boob job? This isn't 'Baywatch'. She, her character, grew up in tough circumstances, never quite fitting in, much like Zero. She was self reliant and smart. Looks and relationships were not part of the picture much like our hero. Kim's recent role in 'Treme' played upon those very acting talents.
shareI didnt think she was very good either. Probably why she hasnt been in too many films.

I thought she was cute (though not that smart, and not a terrific actress).
But 1998 wasn't that long ago, times haven't changed that much (aside from some moronic socialist tendencies lurking around), and I suspect the other poster also lived through 1998.
