I'm sorry, but Maggie stole the show out from under everyone. Between this character and her character Nessa Stein in the Hugo Blick mini-series The Honourable Woman I don't know which is better just from a sheer craft stand-point.

What I thought about watching her was that she probably enjoyed the opportunity to not have to be nice or balanced, as she's usually the lead character in many of the film's she's in.

I thought she did great, but steal the show? From Fassbender and Gleeson?! Now that's an overstatement!

It was easy for Gyllenhaal to steal the show, as Fassbender's facial expressions were a bit wooden.

What was her problem? Just a pure mean bitch? Or a mean bitch with mental issues as well?

What was her problem?

Honesty.

Clara is a prickly person who lacks the ability or desire to be nice. It takes a
TREMENDOUS amount of energy, energy better spent trying to be an authentic
being.
I loved her character. Totally get it.
