I thought she was fresh, then every character she plays are exactly the same.
Now I don't need to watch her films anymore, cause I've seen already

Totally agree. I can't decide if she is a good actress, because she plays (essentially) the same character over and over again. She does it well, but it is always the same.

Indeed. Flat acting with a pretentious superego undertone. Like a female Jesse Eisenberg.

Wow, spot on. How do they keep being cast in films? She's like the 21st century Jennifer Aniston - just plays herself, over and over again.

My friend was just telling me to check out Mistress America and I told him exactly the same. Every movie with her is one giant déjà vu.
