The material was more or less perfect, but Keira Knightley let down the side. It&#8217;s not that she&#8217;s a bad actress, it&#8217;s that Cronenberg has never been the kind of director who draws forth the exceptional from his actors. And Knightley doesn&#8217;t know how to give her role weight. So instead of getting a damaged genius/patient, she&#8217;s playing another edition of the plucky young woman who stands up to the world. This time with more jaw tics.</p> <p style="text-align: right"><small>Mirrored from <a href="http://popone.innocence.com/archives/2011/12/26/alas-jaw.php" title="Read Original Post">Population: One</a>.</small></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=bryant&ditemid=5488" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://bryant.dreamwidth.org/5488.html cronenberg a dangerous method keira knightley public 0
