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.
I have not seen her in a lot, but was surprised to see all the movies she was in. I didn’t like Stoker, although she was good in it.
I’ve liked her in everything I’ve seen her in. My favorite performance of hers is in Stoker.
That’s a second vote for Stoker 🙂
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.
Hahahha, so basically every movie she is in 😉
I LOVE Mia Wasikowska! Such a great actress. Phenomenal in Jane Eyre!
Have not seen that, but that movie is mentioned a lot!
It’s very good! Underrated gem.
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.
And she is still so young!
Mia Wasikowska is one of the amazing young actresses working today. I really loved her in Stoker, and enjoyed her performances in The Kids are All Right, Jane Eyre and even in Alice in Wonderland.
Yeah, have seen all of them except Jayne Eyre and she is amazing.
