7/10
A great solid performance and film
22 December 2020
I've not read the book but I know the story so well. Many actresses have performed the same story many times over the years, Britt Robertsons is most enjoyable partly because she has an intelligent and mature relationship with the camera and therefore us. She doesn't seek to hide or act, she seeks to be what she is supposed to portray and I think her for that, because I believe 100% what she is saying and acting on screen. She is authentic in that she is not scared at all of appearing in scenes with not so much as a lick of make up. She doesn't need it having natural good looks but she doesn't need it because she is also confident in herself. Just as she is in her acting. Perhaps it is her confidence that allows her to explore her inner self to inform and underpin her acting? She reminds me sometimes of Hayley Lu Richardson, another fantastic actor who gives an honest and authentic performance and more often than not in indie films rather than mainstream goop. I think it is only a matter of time before Robertson secures an oscar.
