Kristen Stewart should stick to films like this.
In my opinion, Twilight was her biggest downfall. She's a good actress when she's given good material. This sums up my opinion: http://off-beat-news.blogspot.com.
What do you think?
I agree with the questions that your blog entry brings up about the strength of her acting. I think she's talented, but that talent is absolutely limited. I think she understands her limitations as an actor, and that's a very good thing. Her strength are in independent movies. That's her bread and butter.
Some actors cross over to drama and comedy, but there are only a few that do it convincingly and with depth. For Stewart, it kinda the same thing, it's just blockbusters vs. indies. I think Stewart is the type of actor who absolutely needs a decent script in order to come across as natural when captured on film. If not, Twilight happens. We don't want Twilight; we want a performance that is as solid as Welcome to the Riley's. The percent of blockbusters that have a decent script is slim to none and only the truly talented can elevate such thin material. Stewart isn't one of them, unfortunately.
I know I seem harsh but that's how I see it.
Coming from a Kristen fan, your post doesn't seem harsh at all. It sounds intelligent and well thought out, a very refreshing thing to see when most people just baselessly trash her.

Twilight isn't amazing filmmaking but it entertains a LOT of ppl, and i happen to think that Kristen does well in her role, especially the first one before it became the huge machine it is now, and it is mostly style over substance. I didn't know who the actress was when i left the cinema after seeing Twilight, but i remarked to my sister that the actress was v good in her part. She agreed. We are not tweens and have decent taste (TYVM).
Kristen will have no problem shaking off the monstrous Twilight fame. She is 21 (21!!!) and well respected in the industry. She has the huge franchise under her belt as well as indie films that may not make huge money, but many ppl enjoy them and she always does well with critics.

Oh look the delusional person who has been defending Kristen Stewart for 5 years on IMDB...go look at what Leonardo DiCaprio accomplished at 21 if you want to see talent.

This right here. I mean several actors are limited but it does not mean they are not talented. There are those who can do anything and they are so so rare. And there are those who can do one or a few things but they're good at those things. So she is talented. Can she play anything? No. But is she good at what she does best? Yes. And this film was perfect for her. She's much darker and grittier than Bella Swan.
I hope you like feminist rants because that's kind of my thing. share
Didnt Kristen improvise most of her lines in this film?
"they should give nicole kidman an oscar for being able to show any emotion after THAT much botox".
