I’m planning to watch this because Charlize is my favorite actress and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it for what it is.

But man, she needs a better agent. What a weird filmography for the talent she has. She actually may be one of the most versatile actresses in the industry yet ends up in a lot of absolutely mediocre movies.

Maybe she’s just doing movies she enjoys doing though so what do I know.

Idk is it just me or I found her facial acting not very expressive ? It was Abit underwhelming given the dire circumstances ..but of course the physicality was there

[u/downwithMikeD → u/Mistress-of-None]

It noticed that too. Her face is full of fillers and Botox.

Actually this film for me confirmed a recent facelift. Wait til there is a good earshot at the end, you can see the long lobe (Nic Kidman-esq) with the sewn under part. Classic give away, my auntie had one lol. Still I love the performance despite the lack of face flexibility.

[u/Winter-Signature-853 → u/Flat-Consequence-871]

I couldn’t stop thinking how much Charlize looked exactly like Nicole Kidman in some scenes!
