Evan Rachel Wood is great in this!

I rarely start a post-I am still watching this film now, but I just felt like expressing how impressed I am with Wood's performance. She is extremely endearing and does not overdo the "crazy" as it would be so easy to in a story like this. I never gave this actress much thought besides enjoying her character a bit in True Blood and hating what put her in the spotlight (Thirteen). Anyway, if anyone is thinking of watching this, but looked here first give it a try.

I watched True Blood but can't remember which character she played.

It was Queen Sophie-Ann.

I agree! She did a wonderful job in this movie! I'm very impressed, considering the only other thing I've seen her in is 13.

Agreed!
She was terrific, she was so funny too! Had great comedic timing and her facial expressions really carried her emotions even when she didn't speak

She's a great actress. I especially loved her in The Wrestler, even though she had a smaller part it's definitely a performance that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
