Can she act?


I saw her in a movie with William Hurt and she was atrocious. Has she improved?

I haven't seen her in that many roles. I first saw her in The Truman Show and found her character rather irritating, especially when she is talking to Ed Harrison's character on the telephone during a call-in. Her American accent seemed very contrived.

I saw her in Ladies in Lavender last night and again, found her character, Olga "in the way" (probably because I felt so bad for Ursula, Judy Dench's character). She has the most striking eyes but somehow they irritate me - maybe because I disliked her in The Truman Show. But I also saw her star with Sean Bean I think it was in a sort of action film and thought her character was a bit full of herself. I just can't see beyond that first role I guess so rarely am able to observe her acting because of it!

Watch her in Solaris. Yes, she can really act.

An actress is only as good as character in the script that is handled to her.
That goes for actors as well by the way.
