.....she was in The Danish Girl for which she won an Oscar! Much better. Her range is incredible. I was so eagerly anticipating her facial expressions in each subsequent scene as the emotions just got stronger and stronger. I think she has put to rest the stigma that Swedish people don't show emotion.
shareagreed. very good actress.
Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.
I sa it with my mother today and we both enjoyed it...somehow, I forgot about it being Australian despite the famed Matilda song. No kangaroos or whatever....
I thought either Britain or east coast United States (Trans-Atlantic accents,i.e.---in Mass. or elsewhere in New England, it looked somehow
like Rhode Island-----New England...as, and I invented this term today, "the
clam chowder belt".
But then at the end grown-up Lucy Grace shows up in her car with English/Australian right-hand steering! That and the above mentioned Walzting Matilda song (played as a wedding song) were down under clues....
"And that's SHOWBIZ--kid".-Roxie Hart
PROFILE PICTURE: Courtney Thorne-Smith,1992.
1--there were clues before the wedding waltz
2--Tom and Isobel both had no Australian accents--strange when they both were supposed to be middle to lower class...even if her father was a teacher and she, as well, there is really little likelihood that in normal history, they would have had a more polished, neutral speech pattern...
I imagine that was a deliberate choice on producers to make the film more appealing/reachable to the world in general since they were in so many scenes w/o others...
Liberating the language/accent from specific region opens up the connectivity psychologically for so many fil goers who might "hate" a foreign film...yes, I know that sounds illogical when Vikander and Fassbinder are not American and the greater market is the US release any way...but just my opinion...Fassbinder can certainly do an accent...as "Inglorius Basterds" illustrates...
I haven't heard Vikander do any English language dialogue in anything but "plain" American...
3--Jack Thompson, the supply boat captain, and Bryan Brown, the wealthy landowner who was Lucy Grace's grandfather, both kept their normal Aussie accents and frankly were about the only ones who did sound local...
"That's the beauty of argument, Joey...if you argue correctly, you are never wrong...",
Yes. Yes. Yes! While I'll never forget her steely-eyed performance in the brilliant Ex Machina, and the Oscar was (as you know) from The Danish Girl, she was in her 'wheelhouse' with this role.
Because her ability to emote the characters feelings through facial expression is frankly unparalleled by any dramatic actress in her age group, roles with somewhat less dialogue work better for her.
that's not hard to do. 'the danish girl' was a pretty terrible movie, but alicia was EXCEPTIONAL in this.
shareI agree. Alicia showed a wide range of emotions in this movie.
Again she used the questioning lilt in the tone of her voice toward her co-star like she hooked Domhall in Ex-Machinea. And she showed more emotion when having her pregnancy and complications, criminal investigations, etc.
well, I think quite the opposite, she tries too much to be desperate, seems more like an epileptic, also the desperate running looks very akward.
perhaps it shows not having her own children and playing a mother.
but the acting of love and playfulness are superb.
Alicia looks very much younger than she actually are, she's now 28 (born 3 October 1988) I have met her 4 or 5 times on the street where I live, and there is a school very near with lots of teenagers so she would fit among them very easy, when she walks it shows that she have been dancing ballet, she is moving with a beautiful grace

Thank you, i thought the same thing. I was so looking forward to the Danish girl, but the movie and performances were underwhelming. To my surprise, i thought she was outstanding in this movie. I cried with her in the scenes where she miscarried. This young lady is the real deal, unlike Kristen Stewart whom I cant understand how she keeps beating out other actresses for roles.
shareShame she was overlooked by the Oscars this year in favor for much more underwhelming performances. She could have easily won this year if she hadn't the last. At least the silver lining in this is that her Oscar win is well deserved considering how skeptical I was when she won for The Danish Girl in which I thought she was good but not exactly exceptional.
