How much screen time does Rachel Weisz have?


I may pick this one up, so wondering.

reply

Her part is fairly small and she doesn't appear until the last half hour of the movie (note IMDb lists the cast in order of appearance and she is way down on the list) but it's a rather essential role in the movie.

She wears a gloriously tight shirt in one scene if that helps.

I know this is old but I'd say 15 minutes. 17 if I'm being generous and 20 would be pushing it. It confused me because she has second billing and her name comes before Toni Collette's and yet Toni is in the WHOLE film and Rachel appears after the film's been on for an hour (58 minutes to be exact).

Not much. 20 minutes would be pushing it but it's an incredible 20 minutes. Darren Aronfsky and Daniel Craig are 2 very lucky human beings. I absolutely adore Rachel. I find her to be one of the most beautiful women.

She very much plays a supporting character, but she's really essential to the plot, and it's a touching and complex role. And Weisz is absolutely gorgeous, as always.
