Kristen Stewart's acting

Completely disagree. I thought her acting in this was perfect.

I personally think she's a very good actress, especially in this, Panic Room, The Messengers and The Cake Eaters.

Yeah I agree. She does a better job than I could probably do (I'm not saying "Oh man she's horrible and has no talent auuuuugh") but it seems like all the movies I have seen her in she is the same (or a very similar) character.

I have to say that scowl gets old fast. Obviously the "Twilight" brigade is heavy on these boards, but I was not overly impressed with Kristen here. She was good in "The Cake Eaters" though.

I thought Kristen was good for this role, but I understand your point about her ALWAYS being the same, dull character. She's like a person who is unenthused and bored with life- which is why she was perfect for the role of Melinda, but I couldn't stand her in "Twilight" (Well, I generally didn't like Twilight altogether- but Kristen didn't help). Yeah I wish she would bloom out and actually do something different, but some actors just always play the SAME role, which makes them boring to watch after a while.

I'm not a big KS fan...but I think her beautiful, subdued performance in this movie was wonderful. I normally would not have watched this type of movie...but I caught the beginning by accident and was hooked.

I think for the most part, she did well. Her facial expressions were sad, she was depressed, her eyes were very expressive, even without speaking she did manage to convey depression, and she actually physically flinched every time she was near Andy, she may not be able to deliver the lines (I thought the confrontation with Heather was just painful) but she was excellent body language in this movie. The rape scene was very well done, the way she was trying to hit him or just make him stop, and when she sees Andy in the closet and she just jumps, I think she did an excellent job.

Having said that, I just saw this, and I've seen the Twilight movies, and I have to say... it's the exact same person! I kept expecting to see Edward Cullen come into Biology at some point. Her interactions with Heather were pretty much the same interactions she had with Jessica in the Twilight movies. I think she was very well suited for this role, she played it very well. But for some reason, she plays the same role in almost every other movie I've seen with her in the cast.

But then again, I haven't seen Adventureland, The Cake Eaters, or The Runaways... so I may not be entirely correct.

That was longer than a heartbeat!

No I think this may be the best film she has done, its between that and Camp Xray
