Jaina says:
Firstly, I haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook yet, so maybe my mind will be changed after seeing that. Personally, I don’t see the huge deal with Jennifer Lawrence. She was great in Winter’s Bone, but aside from that, I can’t say I’ve been wowed by any of her other performances. They seem pretty good, but nothing amazing. I’m open to changing my mind though!
Nostra says:
I suggest you check that movie out Jaina, I thought she was excellent in that.
Mette says:
I knew she was going to be big when I saw Winter’s Bone!
She was wonderful as Katniss in The Hunger Games, but her best performance so far, I think, is Silver Linings Playbook.
Nostra says:
Yeah, she was very good in that and she still got a long career ahead of her.
Stephanie says:
Definitely Winter’s Bone!
Nostra says:
A very understandable choice
Andina says:
She’s a great actress. In ‘Like Crazy’ she took a small role for her talent. I must admit she’s great in Hunger Games and of course Silver Linings.
Nostra says:
Have not seen her in that, but I did like her in both the other movies you mention.
ckckred says:
Either SLP or Winter’s Bone.
Nostra says:
I agree!
Armand says:
Winter’s Bone is her best film. I fell in love with her since.
Nostra says:
I liked her performance in it as well
Eric @ The Warning Sign says:
While she was terrific in Silver Linings Playbook, I still have to go with Winter’s Bone as her best.
Nostra says:
Personally I prefer SLP, but I understand your choice Eric!
Chris says:
Loved SLP, thought she was amazing in that and well worth her Oscar. I’ve not seen Winter’s Bone but everything else i’ve seen her in she’s been pretty decent.
Nostra says:
You should check it out, it’s a pretty good movie and she impressed me with it.
Mark Hobin says:
Silver Linings Playbook, but her career is just beginning. This will change soon and often I believe.
Nostra says:
Yeah Mark, I think you are right about that.
ruth says:
Love her. I think my fave role of hers is Silver Linings Playbook, but I like her spunk as Mystique too.
Nostra says:
I didn’t pay much attention who played Mystique and when I made this I was surprised to find out it was her.
Chris says:
I didn’t even l know she played Mystique. Wow!
Loved her in Silver Linings Playbbok. Must check out this Winter’s Bone everyone’s talking about.
Nostra says:
I didn’t know either!
Although I didn’t love Winter’s Bone, it is a solid movie with a great performance by her.
