WHATEVER DRAGONS SHE'D BEEN CHASING, SHE CHASED THEM AND TRAPPED AND SLEW 'EM BETWEEN ACTION AND CUT: After a few years away from the business, Kirsten Dunst is back. Thank goodness -- between Dick, Bring It On, The Virgin Suicides, Spider-Man and, for what it's worth, her stint on ER, this is an actress with a remarkable ability to convey sincerity, who draws your sympathy every time -- and I am rooting for her comeback.

She also gave a very good performance in Marie Antoinette, which while not a GOOD movie was at least visually stunning and adventerously spirited.
ReplyDeleteI know it's being framed as a comeback, but given how relatively young she still is, and that she hasn't been out of the spotlight for that long, it doesn't feel like one to me - it just feels like she took a slightly longer than usual break between movies. I've always liked her, and I am rooting for her, but I'm not sure I really want to see "All Good Things."
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about The Virgin Suicides... wow, that was one disturbing movie. I like her...so welcome back!
ReplyDeleteShe's the best thing about "All Good Things." Thanks, Dan, for defending her performance in Marie Antoinette, which I rather like. She's terrific as Marion Davies in "The Cat's Meow," not a great movie but a great performance. I could watch "Bring it On" and "Dick" every night.
ReplyDeleteAny actress that can sell a sex scene with Jason Schwartzman HAS to be good.
ReplyDeleteIt's the toothbrushing scene in Bring It On that proved to me how brilliant she is.
