In my opinion, Michelle's acting never brought Aung San Suu Kyi to life. She seemed much too saintly to believable as a human being. Of course, she's hampered by the script, which doesn't give her much opportunity to dig deep, but some of her acting choices left quite a lot to be desired. For instance, during the scene in which Suu Kyi's forcibly separated from her sons, her line reading was much too calm.
That said, she did look the part, so at least, there's that.

Judging from the Oscar non-nomination for her, her acting must be not good enough yet. Most of the times, when the script don't give opportunity for the acting, it's not due to the script but due to the actor who cannot carry it out. A movie will look poorer with poorly acted scenes. Take that Crouching Tiger movie for instance, Michelle was supposed to be the leading lady but the finished movie had a newcomer supporting role had more scenes than her. Obviously, her own scenes must be so bad that they have to cut them out.
Having said, I will still watch it for Myanmar & Daw Aung's sake.
Looking forward to Myanmar's version(more about her father) which is preparing for production now. Wonder who will be acting her.
