In My Opinion, Natalie Portman.......

I agree, with very little screen time.

I agree, I think it's in her top 5 performances, she's that great in it. She's got great chemistry with Timothy Hutton. She's probably the heart and soul of the film. Portman is one of those young stars that went on to have a successful adult career that her young career isn't her weakness part. Leon, Beautiful Girls, Heat, Everyone Says I Love You, Mars Attack that's not a bad run for a young actress.

This film is massively underrated but it's one that get's better anytime you watch it.

She did! What a charmer in this one. She made all the grown up ladies seem dull as dust, which may have been the point.

Be cute to see a film have her’s and Hutton’s characters cross paths after all these years.

this is the movie i fell in love with her

Just on again. And it's true, her performance was exceptional. Unrealistic? Probably, I don't think any girl that age would be that wise ("Romeo and Juliet the dyslexic version"? Please), but a great performance. Did she run out of roles, or did the roles not catch up with her?

Having said that...Uma is a goddess, Lauren Holly is stunning, Martha Plimpton is great, Annabeth Gish is a fine woman. Beautiful girls indeed. (Sorry, I left off Mira, but she...well).

I thought "the big fade" dialogue was great. Chicago. Ice cold martini. Van Morrison.

great actress.
she said she was going to be tall though.

Fuck Ferris up the asshole with Steely Dan and KrazyGlue instead of lube. I’d watch that.
