Anyone else blown away by Irene?


Okay, so I probably barely realize that I've always had a thing for brunettes or women with black hair, but I've liked a lot of blonds and some redheads as well.

But everything about Irene was just perfect, she was so beautiful and also discerning, intelligent and decent.

[Spoilers]

The scene where she unmasks Gomez was perfect. You could see she was scared but she just kept provoking him, her eyes were full of fear at the end but she kept going.

Earlier her expression went from shock, as she realized Gomez was looking at her breasts to cold confident mocking as she talked about how this "kid" couldn't possibly have raped the woman, with his noodle arms and tiny manhood.

Then the way she communicated with Benjamin with her eyes all through the movie - she was just incredible. Man, if I had a woman like that looking at me that way, I sure as heck wouldn't have gotten on the train. But when I think back, I did have times like that where I didn't realize what I had and walked away. You do stupid things when you're young.



What hump? 

She is a stunner. Yes, difficult to understand how Benjamin could leave her, but the political environment at the time in Argentina was pretty toxic.🐭

Benjamin was excellent also.

Ha!  Well...that is kind of the problem with obsessions/"passions" (the theme of the movie). They kind of skew your peceptions.

She definitely was not ugly or without charming attibutes. But she is a movie actress in a leading role. For her to be anything, on-camera, less than 'compelling' would be a non-starter.

She had nice legs too. 

Don't know why, but I find her more attractive in the "present" parts on the movie. Beautiful eyes. Excellent performance.

I agree.
