Do you like Elizabeth Olsen?

I think part of how much you'll like this movie will be dependent on how much you connect with Sarah. I found her so easy to connect with even without back story because Elizabeth gives such a strong and convincing performance. I was completely invested. So even when she made some unfortunate decisions, I wasn't critiquing her, I was just hoping she'd be all right.

She's a great actress and it was impressive how she carried this whole film, and it's only, what, her 3rd movie? I look forward to seeing what she does next.

I wrote more about the actual movie in my review, if anyone wants to read it:

I thought she was fantastic and carried the movie.

As for the people commenting on the cleavage and whatnot... what are you guys talking about? There was hardly any cleavage and, as far as these kind of movies go, it wasn't that impressive in the breast department. Not trying to disparage Olson as she is very attractive... but what's with the boob fixation on this board?

All men are fascinated with any small amount of cleavage. There was some, but nothing any female would notice. I thought she did great in this role. That is a long time to stay in character even if the "it wasn't shot in one shot" rumors are true. However, I've read a bit about the original film and it sounds like it would've been more interesting if they would've stuck more to that and less with the whole...lets get it in one shot. I think EO is a very promising actress, I was surprised thinking maybe she was riding her sisters coattails. Great job, one of the better movies I've seen in awhile!

Not really. I don't appreciate nepotism and people who dont really earn their fame and adoration. She's by far even worse than Lily Collins, who I eventually respected at least a little. Liz isnt a bad actor but you dont need to call her great just because it's "cool" to. I hate how it's a sport to hate the twins but praise her as a way of hating them all over again, like how it is with Twilight and Harry Potter.

As I said in a separate thread, I would like her more if she werent a spoiled leech.

I love Jesus AND Jesus-hating atheists and am 100% proud!

She made unfortunate decisions?

she has to be the worst attress I have ever seen. Her continuous crying in the movie pissed me off and ruined the movie. I think her acting ability can only be taken advantage in porn

I thought that Elizabeth Olsen was okay as an actress.

"she has to be the worst actress I have ever seen."

You apparently haven't seen many.

"Her continuous crying in the movie pissed me off and ruined the movie."

Your criticism makes absolutely no sense. Of course she was continuously crying, considering the circumstances of the character.

Yes.

She's beautiful and a great young actress. She's very good in this, I actually seen this before Martha Marcy... and this movie is what got me interested in her work.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!

Cute as a button. Not a bad actress either.
