I wonder if the average 'J.Law' fan likes this movie


Or even saw it!
Considering it's an adult drama, and she isn't cute or funny and there aren't any interesting or silly stories from the promo tour

None. She's not "jlaw" in this film. Good thing though because to me this is her best role.

reply

I really can't call myself a fan of hers, because this is the only thing I've ever seen her in. Winter's Bone is one of the best films I've seen in the past 10 years and she's a big part of why it's so good. I kind of figured that she had a big future after I saw it.

I just saw the film for the first time and I loved it. One of the best films I've seen in a long time. She is great in this film, pity she didn't get Academy Award for it. The uncle I didn't know it was John Hawkes until the credits. He is a real good actor too.

reply

Was wondering about that too. Maybe they watched it and then say, "I loved it!" When in reality, this movie is a total drag, I can't finish it in one sitting.

I figure by average J-Law fan you mean young teen girl.

There's no solid statistic but I don't think for the most part this movie would appeal to that demo, and it shouldn't. It's an unfair expectation to have and to somehow use that to degrade them is a bit of an *beep* move.

Can't stop watching this film. This is defo her best performance to date. Not saying that everything else isn't as good...but this is her strongest performance...keep up the great work!

reply

I became a fan of Jennifer Lawrence because of this movie.

reply

I just watched Burning Plain. Another interesting movie if you are patient, can seem a bit confusing in the beginning.

Jennifer is making another strong performance.She is every bit as good as Charlize Theron in this film.

She is already one of my favourite actresses and I haven't even seen The Hunger Games.

reply

Yeah, most of her movies are adult dramas, not all her fans are just fans of the hunger games, which are great movies.

reply

Jlaw is amazing actress and this is her best performance so far.<3 she was truly epic in this movie

reply

I'm actually trying to find that out with a little social experiment. Are the rabid "JLaw" fans who call anyone who brings up her nude photo scandal a "human piece of sh!t who should have been aborted in the womb" (even as they ironically feed the most obvious troll threads) really interested in this, her best movie?

That's the problem with celebrity. It becomes almost irrelevant whether a person is good at acting or makes good movies. And there's a razor thin lie between love and hate when it comes to celebrity worship.

I like actors and actresses who are talented and make good movies and I'm afraid becoming a celebrity is counter-productive to that.
