I've never enjoyed her in any role. Why do people like her? Is she just relatable to basic white girls or what?

Like watching a cardboard cutout.

They think she is beautiful. Maybe nepotism.

She isn't that bad... I will grant that she is no Jessica Chastain, or Kate Winslet, or Tilda Swinton. But, there are definitely worse actors out there. I think her Oscar for Les Miserables was well deserved.

Watching The Dark Knight Rises, I think the problem is she just recites lines - she has no presence in any scene. Her expressions and intonation are too practiced. It's just pure emotionless prefabricated fakery. I dunno, I don't like it.

She has Muppet features.

Mouth and nose, mostly. Eyes, too.

cast her in everything.

She was outstanding in Rachel Getting Married and I liked her quite a lot in Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight Rises. Those three roles are good enough for her to earn a passing grade from me.

I change my mind. She is actually shit.
