some of the worst child acting ever...
...with some of the worst lines ever. This is not good filmmaking for any age of viewer.
shareI generally find there are no good child actors, so your statement is pretty much a blanket for all those about 16 or under.
shareYou obviosly hadn't see Interstellar, A.I. and Sixth Sense.

I hadn't see Interstellar, no... but I had see the other two and am still not particularly impressed.
It's almost always kids trying to act like the adults they're not, or kids trying to act like kids, rather than just being kids. Generally they either serve the role or serve the plot. It's not very easy to do both and do them well which is where most 'child actor' roles fail.
By contrast, I felt Stranger Things was far better than most of the child acting I've seen to date... and I'm not exactly young any more!! share
There are plenty of examples of movies where kids act like kids. This three examples are only the top of the iceberg. But though even on that plenty of examples, there are hundreds more where kids are overacting or truly tries to act like an adults or, to the opposite, like an idiots, so I'm not surprised that you have such an impression. Watch Interstellar, and you'll find out that kids can act. Mackenzie Foy was outstanding in it. She served both the plot and her role very well.

That's what I mean - They're *acting* like kids, rather than being kids. Just as when being all adult about it, they come out with things no kid would ever say and it sounds as fake as a... fake thing.
Watch Interstellar
Aw jeez, do I really have to???!!!
and you'll find out that kids can act.
I'm sure some can... but the rare few does not save the vast majority, and having me watch a film where half the adult cast cannot act isn't going to help!!

Did you watch Interstellar already?
Nolan, I love you forever!share
Nope.
It's pretty far back in my queue of things to watch, right now.
Oh that's pity. You really don't appreciate my strong recommendation. =( You are not only losing to see a great child acting by incredible Mackenzie Foy, but also just a great film by itself.

If it's that good, I'm sure it will wait its turn... if not, I'm not missing much.
shareI'm not even sure how you might have not see Interstellar and still feel yourself into cinema.

Aside from the idea of Matthew McConaughey annoying me as much as your impatience that I have priorities other than your child-actor wet-dream film?
Simple - I'm busy.
Interstellar got some really *beep* reviews when it came out and those of my friends who have seen it, whose opinions I value and who know my (apparently annoying) tendencies to pick films apart, universally suggest I skip it... hence it's on my rainy day list.
I'll get to it when I get to it. If you can't wait that long for an argument, find someone else to pester. It sounds like you already know the acting is *beep* in this, but have already written your agenda for arguing in response to the anticipated criticism...!!
So have you watched it already?
Nolan, I love you forever!share
It's in the queue...
shareOhhh... You make Nolan upset. :(

I watched Memento (including all the Special Features and Forwards version), Inception, The Prestige and all the Dark Knights... Is that not enough to be going on, while I get through the stack of other films that were here first?
