  1. I love Mia! She’s a very unique and talented actress. I think Stoker is my favorite role of hers. But really, she’s never given a mad performance that I’ve seen.

  2. I think Mia is totally brilliant, she’s able to completely transform from film to film. It’s tough to pick a favorite, maybe it’s between Jane Eyre and Robyn from Tracks. She really is great in everything. I also love Stoker and Only Lovers Left Alive. I guess Mia’s my ideal these days.

  3. That’s hard to say as the films I’ve seen her in so far have been really good. I love her as Jane Eyre while I also enjoyed her performances in Stoker, Only Lovers Left Alive, and Maps to the Stars as she can do a lot. She’s better than a lot of the more well-known actresses that are working right now.
