Watching Mia is a delight. She brings many nuances to her characters and is such a sensitive, intense actress. I can't take my eyes off her when she is on screen, no matter how good her costars are.
Wasikowska, Emily Browning and Amanda Seyfried are my favourite younger actresses, without a doubt.
Yeah, equal parts sensitivity and intensity, well said. She's had some great costars, too - Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddelston, Julianne Moore, Nichole Kidman, and more. Mia's got a certain gravity that draws you in.
shareWell said. She becomes her characters so perfectly that you might even not recognise her at first, when you watch a film in which she plays. That's a fine trait IMHO.

That's her chameleon ability. I can't think of any actor of her generation that can disappear so completely like that, where she looks, sounds and moves like a whole other person. Take a role like Mia in "Jane Eyre" and compare her to her Ava in "Only Lovers Left Alive" - it's hard to see her as being the same person.
I agree.
shareDo you know that Mia's "Madame Bovary" is coming out soon - June 12.
This article appeared today in the Sunday entertainment section of the New York Times.
Ms. Wasikowska, having already been Jane Eyre and Alice in Wonderland, is now something of a specialist in literary heroines and does a lot of acting here just with her eyes. “I think she could be in silent films,” Ms. Barthes said.

Emma Bovary isn't like Jane Eyre, she's an anti-heroine.
Cool! Thanks heaps for sharing.

Life is very long when you are lonely.
She's my favorite actress of my generation.
Adele Exarchopoulos (on the strength of her extraordinary work in "Blue is the Warmest Color" alone), Rooney Mara, Lea Seydoux, Carey Mulligan, Jennifer Lawrence, are all extremely talented, but Mia is my number 1. She's incredibly versatile, subtle, nuanced, and comes across as an extremely smart, sensitive, and humble young woman. She may have done Alice in Wonderland (who would turn it down?) but she's obviously not in the game for the money and fame. She will take smaller parts on the strength of the project (director/writer/co-stars), yet she's offered these great leading roles because she's just that good at her job. She has a very special aura, and I wish her a very long career.
Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.
Totally agree!
