What is your favorite Oliva Thirlby role?
Thank you for highlighting her! I think she’s great and she’s always one of the strongest actors in any film she’s in.
Yeah, I saw her last week in the movie The Wedding Ringer and was surprised that I didn’t do a post on her yet. I really like her. The movie where I really noticed her was New York, I Love You because the story she was in was so strange. What’s the movie where you first noticed her?
Juno was the first one I noticed her in, but I really liked her in The Wackness, Snow Angels, and Nobody Walks (even if the latter wasn’t a very good movie at all. She still stood out)
I haven’t seen a lot of films that she’s been in yet she is so amazing as I love her in Snow Angels and Juno as well as her appearance in New York, I Love You as she was one of the few highlights in that awful film.
Snow Angels is one I haven’t seen yet, so i guess I should be checking that one out.
Still have to see more of her to have a more informed opinion, but liked her in Juno and Dredd.
Yeah, she’s solid in those films.
