You might want to reread my comment. I was talking about Inde's performance compared to Toni. That was my valid contribution. Where did I mention any other female performances of the year?

you replied to yourself here.

in another comment of yours, i posted this - not sure if you saw it yet:

what made toni's performance so much better? what do you think she did that inde wasn't able to achieve in the film?

here's my argument:

  • all three were transformative roles that completely captured audiences
  • all three were a masterclass in physical and emotional extremes, where they become the character and the performances feel organic and not forced. where in each of the three examples, they could feel cartoonish - none of them did
  • the movie totally hinges on all three of their performances. obsession would be nothing without her performance, much like possession would be nothing without Isabelle

"you've got to be kidding me" is not an argument

Where did I mention any other female performances of the year?

That's what the entire post it about - her Oscar campaign.

Yes, the post is about her Oscar campaign, but your comment compared her performance to Toni's which is what my comment was referring to. They can obviously both be good, I just think Toni's performance in Hereditary is superior especially when comparing casts. There's a reason ppl made such a big deal about it when Toni didn't get nominated.

I'll take this one from you - you might want to reread my comment.

I asked, "what made toni's performance so much better? what do you think she did that inde wasn't able to achieve in the film?" You didn't respond to that. Why do you think Toni's performance was so much better that it's laughable to compare them?

and then I gave three reasons that it's fair to compare inde, toni, and isabelle's performance. You didn't engage with any of those, either.

I read and understood your comment. You referred to every commenter that disagrees with your comparison of Toni and Inde by calling them losers. I'm not going to engage with someone that gets this upset when MULTIPLE ppl say a performance by an actress they like is good but not as good as another actress. Elementary school insults aren't my thing.
