Kristen Stewart can't act


...this has been seen time and again. She only has one expression. I can't believe why anyone keeps hiring her.

I don't know her or anyone related to movie industry, I'm just a random movie goer. Yet I can't believe why anyone would hire her?

Kristen can act ....I don't even understand the Twihards . How can really look at a actor and think you know her ? Twilight is over !!!Who really knows if her and Patterson really dated . I personally didn't like the storyline in Twilight and so that means I didn't like the movies . I don't listen to critics either. They have their own agenda on how they rate a film . So I don't listen to the dumb comments she has a twitch or she has the same expression . Did you ever think it is her trade mark in films .

She was good in this film . Not great but good . She is only 26 ........she has a long road a head of her .

The movie was superb :)

The movie did not go into as much depth, about Alice and Lydia's relationship. In the book Alice realizes that she was a bit less involved in raising Lydia. After having three children, Alice was getting her career back on track. Lydia was a smart, well-behaved child, who did not give her parents problems. Lydia had an easier time excelling in school, and her parents were more lenient with her. They assumed she would become a professional just like the rest of the family.

In the book, Alice realizes she not as involved as she could have. So Lydia wanting to be an actress was a surprise. Alice realized she did not know her daughter, that is why the mother reads Lydia's diary. Lydia does flip-flop and wants to become closer to her mother, but Alice also flip-flop. Alice reaches out first.

Not wanting to know if she had the gene, does sound rebellious. It makes sense that a young, rebellious artistic type would want to live in the moment. Not live in fear that 20 or 30 year from now, she would start developing the disease.

Are you really going to mention Panic Room where she is comatose the entire movie? Adventureland was awful, with another awful actor Jesse Eisenberg. They are both wooden, and can only play themselves in every single role.

word.

I have just posted the exact same thing in the thread about which kid i hated the most in the film and without question it was her.

Cant act and just sticks that bloody great big jutting monstrosity of a chin out and thinks its enough.....well it ain't kid. She is also too god dam "emo" she like a skater kid that needs to grow up

I thought she was terrific in the Runaways, memorable in The Rileys, terrible in Twilight, and at BEST forgettable in this.

I think she did an ok job epically her argument with her sister at the dining room table. She was supposed to be a self centered actress. I am going to starve but let daddy pick up the bills.

I firmly believe she was cast in this movie because her part called for an aspiring actress with little talent. The scene in which her family goes to her play is pretty telling of this, seeing as none of them seem very impressed -- Kate Bosworth, particularly. Seems more like a time waster to them, and Stewart is (perhaps intentionally) very flat in her play. I like to think this way because it adds a deeper level of characterization to Still Alice. Although I don't think Kristen Stewart is a "bad" actress -- she seems likable enough -- I really just think her part was almost a parody of herself, whether or not she was aware.

To me it was worse that Alec Baldwin played, well, Alec Baldwin in this. We know he can play a twinkling-eyed cad who whispers most of his dialogue. Are there any other arrows in his quiver?

reply

I thought she was great. Very much believable.

I agree with you. Kristen Stewart CAN act. Quite well. She's very good. She was even nominated for best supporting by Awards Circuit Community Awards for this movie, where Julianna Moore won all the awards that can be won. Kristen's no doubt done some work that doesn't excel, but I think jumping on her constantly for bad acting is nonobjective overkill and probably a lot of it resentful, envious, and mean spirited.

Bwahahahahaha, you're hilarious, you delusional person. This isn't the Olympics. Envious? No. Mean spirited? No. Resentful? No.

is refreshing to see the "couch test" is still alive and helping 'actors' like Kristen Stewart to find work.

Was. One of them passed on this year from ALS complications. But lived long enough to see a performance he directed win an Oscar and thus finally proving Julianne Moore could win a competitive Oscar.
