The acting in this movie is amazing. Elle's acting in this movie, at such a young age, is better then most adult actors. There are alot of actors who attempt crying scenes but fail big time. In this case it wasn't a problem. It was believable and its heart breaking. Its nice to see more of Elle in her newest movies and I look foreward to see what future roles she will take.
Okay I'll explain this to those of you who havemt seen it...
Phoebe, is a little girl with OCD and tourrettes, she wanted to be alice in the school play but she didn't think she would get the part unless she did these things, like the 'stair stepping' which is where she jumps up a certain amount of stairs (she fell on the stairs a lot) and said 'remember who you are, don't get fired' and she imagined characters from alice in wonderland speaking to her. There.
Poor kid. I don't have OCD but I have severe anxiety and a few times I've just broken down crying in my mom's arms because not only are the worrisome thoughts themselves frightening but the question of "why am I having these thoughts?" is frightening as well.
This film had serious script issues, but Elle REALLY delivered such an incredible performance. This scene in particular is so intense and raw, it feels so genuine and emotional, the crying may not be attractive, but it's so real and so hard to watch. Elle's going to get an Oscar someday, this movie proves how much natural talent she already has.
I am never watching another Elle fanning film with her crying in it. I can't stand it. To see her cry is heartbreaking. Such reality. Such a brilliant, talented young actress! A genuine treasure to the film world. She doesn't need to ride Dakotas coattails. She has proven herself. Kudos to the parents who have raised those two kind, intelligent kids. Hope they smile if/when they see this comment.
She wasnt cutting them she fell on them repeatedly.... she has OCD and Touretts Syndrome, because of this she has to do and say thing even if she dosnt want to. Near the beggining there was a scene where she came to the table and her hands were bleeding and that was coz she has a washing compolsion. She hurt he knees coz of a compulsion to count and jump in order... especially on stairs.
She's brilliant. I really hope the industry recognizes her for who she is and not simply as "Dakota Fanning's sister." She certainly has the talent to do it.
Well its about a girl with OCD and something else i cant sya cause it will give it away. She gets the lead in her schoolplay and starts creating an imaginary world where no one judges her and everything is better. But it starts becoming kinda dangerous because it gets her hurt.
She is REALLY talented... I think it just runs in the blood! I mean I remember seeing Dakota a few years back when she was Elle's age and this just seemed like a flash back!
She isn't cutting them on purpose, she compulsively jumps up and down the stairs. It's one of the things she does to make sure bad things don't happen to her. But she keeps falling over while she's jumping on the stairs and cuts her knees.
haha she sid SO AMAZING! But my favorite part was the ending, when she saw Alice and Dodger and they "ran but stayed" and dissapeared, but the best part was the "who are you" line when she just stared at the camera!
I saw this earlier today and wanted to cry. I'm going to see the movie. She has Tourette's Syndrome, in case people were wondering and she can't help the things she does. Her mother was apparently in denial of it for a long time.
wow she did a really good acting job!
