Not enough praise for Adriana Barraza


I've heard alot of praise for Aniston, and all well-deserved, but Adriana Barraza as Silvana really stood out to me, almost overshadowing Aniston. Anyone else think so?

She was very good.

She was excellent. I loved her character.

She was my favorite part of the movie. Her acting was great and her character was more multidimensional than Jennifer Aniston's.

reply

The audience could only guess the type of loss that her character had experienced in her own life. Not necessarily death, but some sort of physical separation from her family and from her relatives back home.

reply

She was wonderful. And yes, as good as if not better than Aniston in this.

She was outstanding. In fact, their scenes together (her and Clare) were the best.

Easily the best part of the film

I agree, her performance was over-shadowed in the avalanche of publicity Aniston received. Her performance was wonderful and so essential to the movie.
