Can Kristen Stewart Act?


I thought she was dreadful in this film, badly miscast, and rather mousey. What's with those hairy eyebrows? Her line readings were flat and boring and she was totally unbelievable as a femme fatale who could ensnare two men. Just my opinion, but I thought she was the weakest part of the film.

Kristen is a good actress. The problem is: YOU DON'T LIKE HER. Two different things.

Yeah, you're right. I forgot she did get the Best Kiss award 4 years in a row from the MTV Movie Awards.

I find the attitude of Miley Cyrus, the singer abhorrent. On the other hand I'm very pleased with Miley Cyrus the actress.

I got to see Crisis in Six Scenes, and got to understand why Allen chose her for the role. The point of importance here is that Allen doesn't go through casting directors, he chooses the people he wants to be in his movies, and for long decades, he has always chosen actors who put something on the table before they appeared in his movie. He was one of the first to cast Natalie Portman after Leon the Professional, and before she became a big star. The same with ScarJo, Andrew Rhys Davies, Jesse Eisenberg.

Stewart was an indie darling before Twilight (which I'll never watch) and after, so from a perspective of method she can act, even if you don't like it.

I live in the Gordius Apartment Complex, my interior designer was M.C. Escher.

She could in this. I don't think she was flat or boring. She wasn't supposed to be a femme fatale; I don't see that as the character she's doing here. No, I think this movie had her right.

I am not familiar with her acting, but she was OK.
