I find Williams performances powerful but a bit offputtingly flopsweaty - which makes her well cast in Fabelmans. Mulligan has some kind of blank screen non-charisma that for whatever reason doesn’t work for me. She’s fun in Blink.

I'd have to look at them side-by-side to explain why, but I found her different here than in Wendy and Lucy or Certain Women. I like Kelly Reichardt's contemporary films so much more than the two set in the 1800s.

A Promising Young Woman is on Netflix, so I finally caught up with that. Definitely not a good movie--didactic, and so far-fetched--but it did hold my interest just for being so weird.

Am surprised I was so out-of-the-gate in my dislike of CM itt. I was under the mistaken impression I came by that arrival gradually

What is “flopsweaty”??Michelle Williams by a mile and also she did a great job reading Britney’s book. It was like a single chapter before I accepted the voice as Britney’s. I find CM very cold and therefore much less interesting to me.

xp I guess I kind of liked her in Inside Lleywn Davis ... playing someone incredibly unlikeable

Definitely not a good movie--didactic, and so far-fetched--but it did hold my interest just for being so weird.I found it kind of entrancing, despite its flaws, which is why Saltburn was so disappointing to me: It was boring!

I liked Mulligan in Wildlife but otherwise find her unbelievable.

I had to look Mulligan up. She was in Pride and Prejudice? I guess I remember her in that.
