Her role is purposefully thin as she's essentially a goal for Clift's character and I do think she is overshadowed by Winters's heartbreaking turn)<br /><br />Russell - 3.5(Russell is fairly charming anyways and she makes herself an endearing presence particularly in the first half of the film. Once she finds success though I just felt she became a bit on autopilot and just her whole character became less enjoyable)<br /><br />Cass - 2.5(Did not find her all that funny or even particularly memorable)<br /><br />Merchant - 3(I feel she might play it just a bit too passive for her own good to the point that she doesn't make much of an impact on her own terms. She's certainly not bad but she really leaves everything a bit too much to Caine)<br /><br />Winters - 3.5(Essentially the opposite of Merchant. She only has three scenes I think but Winters always know how to make a impact with this film being no different. She's properly vivacious so to speak and is particularly good in the scene where she bluntly gives Alfie a taste of his own medicine)<br /><br />Locke - 4(She gives a very sweet and earnest performance here, in a film that I probably she give another watch. Anyway though I felt her work was just a nice genuine piece of work. Appropriately unassuming and rather moving)<br /><br />Moreau - 4(I essentially felt the same about her as I did about him. She's good in portraying the daze of her character, but I just never quite felt it was anything that palatable. Good most definitely but just never became great for me)<br /><br />Vitti - 3(Fine but I did not think there was anything special to be found)<br />Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-4918272180835158072015-03-31T16:43:20.514-04:002015-03-31T16:43:20.514-04:00Everyone: What are your 2012 Lead suggestions for ...Everyone: What are your 2012 Lead suggestions for the bonus rounds.<br />Mads Mikkelsen - The Hunt<br />Mads Mikkelsen - A Royal Affair<br />Tom Courtenay - Quartet<br />Toby Jones - Berberian Sound Studio<br />Charlie Creed-Miles - Wild Bill<br />Or<br />Sacha Baron Cohen - The DictatorLuke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-76586780413512264412015-03-31T16:13:21.155-04:002015-03-31T16:13:21.155-04:00Oh I forgot about my own !!!.
