The lead actress was amazing.
I don't believe I've ever seen her in anything, but she was the best actor in the film. They were all good, but she really stood out.
shareYeah, she was great.

She was good, yes.
I didn't like her in that part where she was a movie critic, though. Not convincing.
That part seemed out of place in general.
shareShe was channeling the critic Pauline Kael. One of Kael's books is in Jake's childhood bedroom.
shareI don't think it was meant to be convincing. A big part of Kaufman's work revolves around pointing out the artificiality of movies
Not sure exactly what he was going for with that scene. He might have been making fun of the way LA intellectuals discuss movies like his. Or maybe something else, but I think it was designed to stand out as unrealistic
Not only that but the way she delivered it was supposed to tip you off that she was somehow reciting something he'd read. It should feel jarring and out of place, the way she switches between clueless about certain things one moment then seemingly an expert moments later.
shareShe's really good in Wild Rose as well.
shareshe was horrible overacting with that fake raspy voice
shareTry watching, the beast with her in it. Very good.
