Jennifer Jason Leigh


I wonder if anyone agrees with me that she was the one weak link in the whole thing. Didn't buy her as her younger character nor her older character. I've had this problem with her before in other roles. Cumberbatch, Sebastian Maltz (young Patrick), and Hugo Weaving BECAME their roles.

A word about Pip Torrens (Nick) - Man could he roll those words off his tongue. I cannot believe this is the same guy who played Herr Starr on Preacher! What a kick.

As far as Jason Leigh, I could only see her ACTING, could not buy she was this woman. Miscast IMO. The only character she's ever played that I've bought was in The Hateful Eight. Also a kick.

What about her roles in 'Existenz' or 'Last Exit to Brooklyn'?

Didn’t bother me in EXistenZ, didn’t see Last Exit, I was ok w her in Dolores Claiborne and Single White Female and a few others, but she did totally annoy me as Dorothy Parker to the point I couldn’t watch that one.
