Taissa Farmiga is simply impressive yet again.


Acting talent really runs in the family of Vera and Taissa. Thats for sure. This girl can play everything. Good girl, bitch, bipolar, psycho, heroin. Wow i am impressed by how talented This girl is.

The movie is also such a fun ride a really good horror slasher comedy. Its also very original This will likely become a Cult movie Like Cabin in the Woods though its not similar to it. But it to was very original

Frankly, I thought she was awful. So stale. The movie was entertaining though.

You are crazy if you think that. Or just has always hated Taissa if that is the case

To say much more about the goings on about "The Final Girls" would spoil some of the film's slight delights. Taissa, sister to Vera Farmiga, is especially effective here; she grounds the character in teenage realism. It's a way of life often driven by the irrational, and emotional. Nevertheless, Taissa doesn't overdo her dramatic beats. Max is struggling to figure out how to navigate life without her mother. This surreal experience allows her space to move forward.

I liked her in AHS season 1, but in general, she lacks range. This movie wasn't any different.

thats YOUR opinion

Of course it's opinion. She's cute, but has never impressed me. Vera on the other hand is amazing.

reply

Seems like most people agree with my opinion and disagree with yours. Poor Taissa.

My opinion seems to really upset you?

I like her a lot but you're a moron. People are free to dislike her. Grow up, dick.

I loved her in this...with that being said, she was probably the 5th best actor in this film. Nina, the freckle girl, Malin, and the funny guy bested her. Taissa did act way better than Chris though.

I agree. Everyone was great in this film, incl. Nina who had less screen time than Taissa. I really liked Chris' acting as well, even though his character was a bit wooden. He did what he could with the stereotypical role of "the final girl's BF".

According to the critics and me she is the Best in this along with Malin. I think you are picking the order like that is because of who of the characters you like the most. But by talent she and Malin where the Best they created many touching moments and critics mentioned that these 2 where the Best

I thought she showed some range as a bitch in Bling Ring. Her AHS performances don't impress me, but she has moments. And to be fair to Taissa, her writing on that show was pretty dire

To be fair to Taissa, she never wanted to be an actor, she just did that role in Vera's film as a favour but then got lucky with AHS.

Plus she said she wasn't even that impressed with this film role but was talked into it by the director so take from that what you want !

She should definitely invest in some acting lessons but I just don't think she has a future as she's not pretty enough, (I have a massive soft spot for her but I'm realistic)!

WAIT! She was the teen from that godawful AHS by the racist producer Ryan Murphy!? I didn't recognize her at all but then I didn't watch AHS the whole entire through.

reply

Taissa does seem to have A LOT of haters no matter what she does, if it's her looks or her acting.

I hope she stops acting, I get upset reading it as she's such a sweet girl.

DCMarvelRules, i agree w/ you 10000%! i'm a big fan of the Farmiga sisters. i admit i haven't seen every movie/show Taissa has been in but the projects i have seen her in she's been superb. AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 1 is my all time favorite season of that show and a big reason why is because of Taissa's amazing performance in it.

IMO the entire cast in THE FINAL GIRLS was great but Taissa and Malin Akerman were incredible. i just finished watching the movie and it instantly became a favorite of mine. it's one of the most original, refreshing movies i've seen in a while. i rarely do this but i gave the movie a 10 out of 10 stars. i loved it that much!

reply

I thought Taissa was great in it. She was my favorite part of the movie.

reply

I think that she is absolutely awful, don't know how she keeps getting acting gigs, probably because she has a talented older sis, but, sadly, the talent doesn't seem to run in the family.

reply

Because she is very good and you have no clue what you are babbling about. Thats why. Pretty easy to understand. There is no accident she was named the IT-girl at a movie festival this summer with her 2 amazing performances. It just shows you have no clue about acting. don't be sad about though lol

reply

DCMarvel, I think you're a massive Taissa fan just like myself but I'm realistic, she won't be going anywhere, she's not good-looking enough & I haven't seen her in anything that she has really impressed me outside of AHS, and she won't be going back in that show, (I REALLY hope) !!

Showbiz is cruel & I think she just got lucky with AHS but that's it.
