Limp Leading Lady - disappointed in Alicia Vikander


with the exception of the first 6 minutes or so after that alicia had the same set of dour facial expressions and tense neck-look that started to wear thin with me after a while.

she didn't change it up or offer a nuanced performance. maybe the script or book called for it, but she was so uptight with a stick up her arse. i wonder if the real vera was like that.

i'm a fan of alicia's since 'a royal affair', but her vera's performance reminded me of the character she played in 'pure'.

I thought she was great!

Hated her, and her squeaky voice made me laugh in parts that weren't suppose to be funny. She's pretty much the same in every movie. I only watched this for Kit, I would avoid any movie she is in.

I think she over acted the part.
