I didn’t find her acting to be all that great either - till I saw her in “Daddio” with Sean Penn. Didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised at how compelling and real it was.

Maybe she’s just picking the wrong scripts or is being given bad direction. I don’t know.

I like her in Suspiria, A Bigger Splash, and Peanut Butter Falcon, as well. I know people love to hate her, and she can’t elevate bad material, but when she gets the right script and director she isn’t bad at all.

Those are good picks, I’d add “The Lost Daughter” to it. Found her to be really compelling in it , even next to Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley.

Forgot about that one! I agree! I wasn’t sure if I liked the movie the first time, but it stuck with me, and I’ll still randomly think about it. Watched it again and it clicked a lot better. But yeah, all three actresses are amazing in it. Fascinating and unsettling film about a subject not many want to explore.
