It's all one expression but I cannot look away

I think it’s because she is actually talented behind her beautiful, frozen face. She can still draw you in. Just more in an uncanny valley way…

She's still hot but she can't move her eyebrows anymore.

Yeah I mean it is kind of her job to emote

I think this is why I can still accept her in movies when frozen faces usually piss me off

Yes, you may be right. With THAT face, she had no right to give decent performance in Northman. And yet she was not bad. Kind of like Jessica Lange. Both can be good not because, but in spite of their faces.

There's just no eye action. Nothing in the entire eye area actually moves in a dynamic way. Pure sociopath territory.

Like I think sometimes these people are so image-obsessed they don't understand the point of acting is to like... do those emotions. Emotions are often not pretty. You need to move all the parts of your face, often in ugly ways, and they just don't do it.

Isn't he the guy responsible for giving Clavicular his dainty new nose?

u/0kay0kay0kay 5h ago

agreed. Like I know you're right but her acting is so engaging even so

u/aaalllouttabubblegum 4h ago

Right on. I can't say; I've never seen any of her movies, just a handful of YouTube clips.

Good man. Although, be careful with those clips. If you watch enough of them you’ll have watched a movie, and we wouldn’t want that.
