They want way too much from child actor Millie Bobby Brown

You're entitled to your opinion. I happen to disagree with it...I think she's doing a great job. It is very tricky for any actor to schizophrenically switch between two different personas, and at first the show was depending on the "expanding iris" shot of the eyes to help establish it, but I think in the case of Marcus/Madison, MMB can change tones effortlessly to let us know when whichever personality is in control of her body. Granted, the two personas are just pretty much just one-note characters so far (Madison: scared little girl; Marcus: cocky & sadistic villain), so the real challenge for her will be if she needs to bring other emotions into play for each one (such as perhaps Marcus showing fear, or Madison being confident). Time will tell, but I think she's nailing it so far.



Some men just like to watch the world burn!

Beer -

Im with SANDOZ on this !

I think your wrong, on the contrary, her performance in most scenes is simply an outstanding.
It so clear when she switches characters and becomes Marcus.
I honestly do not know how you can say "she's not good."
I and many others will find that statement totally ridiculous.

I agree that this actress is not good. I don't think she's particularly great at acting like a child, but when she is acting as an adult her primary trait is to sound snotty. I get that she's young but really, some children are able to act who are younger than her and I'm always astonished. I think Lizzie and her sister (sorry, forget their names, but from The Walking Dead) are much better at coming across as their characters, they are kids but they don't stand out in any way. From what I remember, Jodie Foster and Kirsten Dunst very good at that age. Great at switching between character however weird was the little boy who played Danny in The Shining. The kids in The Others were fantastic as well. Actually, there are a lot of really great actors, young and old, in other countries (think Let the Right One In). I'm not sure if the US choose what they think will be the cuteness factor (olsen twins - ugh) over talent but we don't have a lot of young actors who are truly gifted.

Also, I like this show so it pains me to say that her character is distracting.

End of opinions.

are you kidding. she is only reason i am watching this show. i just like her facial expressions and tits comments

i think shes doing ok, she adds to the show, its challenging for a 10 year old,
and the fact shes had a go at it deserves some respect.
she makes me laugh and i look forward to seeing her scenes.
if Steven king says shes terrific then that's cool too.

I also disagree with the original poster. Personally, I feel the worst child actress is Bailee Madison, who played the young Snow White on Once. Good lord did that kid get coached. I base that mainly on a film she did, not her work on Once.

The difference between her and Millie, is that Millie has the mannerisms of an angry, perverse man DOWN. Personally, I feel the way she is able to switch between the two characters at such a young age is pretty impressive. She still has to memorize lines, as well as do the personality switch.

Not to mention, the way any of us view an actor is subjective. Some are believable to me, while not to others. No one's opinion is right or wrong. If a person's work entertains me, but not you, then just stop watching if you don't like it.

Wow. This girl is the only reason I'm still watching this Show. Her acting is for her age superb. Haven't seen many better child actors.

She's inconsistent. At times she's pretty good but just as often she's not.

It's a complex role and she's too young. Having said that, I still enjoy the hell out of the character. The same cannot be said for Amy/Rose. Now THAT is bad acting.
