HER SCENES IN 'REVOLUTIONARY ROAD' WERE OUTSTANDING!


I saw her in "Revolutionary Road" and was truly an amazing turn. Your eyes were on her from her first scene in a crowded elevator but she still seemed so shy and nervous around Frank. It's a testement to how great she was in only a few scenes and the way Sam Mendes shot her.

The stuff where she was at the table with Frank trying to chose the right time to speak was so beautifully captured. She seemed both vunerable and sexy, but true to the women from the period. This small part was pitch perfect right down to Frank leaving to go home leaving her alone.
Really great to see an actress, not so much miliking the role, but embracing all the subtleties and nuances of it.

With all the brilliance of "Revolutionary Road", particularly the performances, she seems to have been overlooked but I'm sure this small but pivitol part will quite rightly launch her into the big time as she deserves.

If she is dating Paul Dano, lets's see them in a movie together! Anyone who's seen "There Will Be Blood" will know he's a brilliant actor in his own right!

I know you posted this over four years ago, but I just wanted to say I completely agree! She did a brilliant job portraying her character in the few scenes that she had; it was so realistic and subtle and I found myself relating to--and cringing at--her awkwardness because it was so real.
Hopefully she'll be able to make a solid name for herself in the film world. Talent like that shouldn't go unnoticed!
