A little less of that. She obviously has seen all the memes.
Unfortunately she is a terrible actress and can't fully control her face, so...

During the first season it seemed like she was trying to talk without opening her mouth. It doesn't seem as bad this season but maybe I just got used to it.

Not getting laid in a thousand years does that to an elven woman.

Also makes her aggressive and angry.

Can't speak to her performance in this show as I haven't watched it, but Morfydd Clark was fantastic in Saint Maud (2019), a truly disturbing favorite semi-recent horror.

People keep saying that and I just find it hard to believe.
She is phenomenally bad in the RoP.

I'm just here to provide (semi) informed opinions about movies I think deserve more exposure, so people can check them out and form their own opinions as fodder for discussion. Not sure what else to say here, other than actors can only do so much with the screenplay and direction they're given on any project.

I just rewatched The Hobbit and lotr trilogy and was struck by the actor who played Faramir. When his father told him he wished he had died instead of Boromir, Faramir's eyes reddened and watered, his nose started to get the sniffles yet no tear dropped from his eyes. You could see how pained and heart broken he was, a very good actor. Then rewatching season 1 of trop, Galadriel had a single tear on her cheek, but her eyes were dry and not red, her nose had no sniffle. The tear looked like it was dropped there by an eye dropper unlike the amazing acting of the Faramir actor. I notice all of Galadriel's cry scenes are like that, a dry face with a single tear dropped from an eye dropper.

This? Seems more a saddening sigh than a sniffle.

Well, she's an elf, not a human, different ways of grief I would surmise. Besides, she's lived for hundreds to thousands of years so this is more or less desensitized grief.

Does anyone else find her attractive in this role?

I never noticed and think she is a doing a great job.
