Did anyone else dislike Mona?
I loved this movie and was fascinated with Tamsin, but I just could not like Mona. Everything from the way she talked and looked and acted put me off. Did anyone else feel like this?
sharea bit. i loved tamsin, i think mona was good but depended a bit too much on her. i know that was kinda the point but it did make me dislike her a bit.
shareI find both women stunningly beautiful and talented. Their performances are both exceptional, however Nathalie Press outshines Emily Blunt in my opinon. In addition to the Yorkshire accent she convincingly affects, much of Mona's acting is nonverbal and perhaps goes unnoticed and unappreciated. She has fewer, shorter lines than Tamsin and must rely more so on subtle facial expressions and gestures to develop her character. Emily Blunt plays a bored, spoiled rich girl. Although a few of her scenes are outstanding, such as her seduction of Mona's brother, this role is perhaps not particularly challenging for Blunt. She grew up in London, attended a top private boarding school, playing the cello and riding horseback. Not unlike Tamsin. Her role as the manipulative Emily in The Devil Wears Prada is similar as well. Just some food for thought.
