""Dude, Hollywood is built on Europeans," - Tilda.

she was awesome in this, that final scene won her the Oscar. Absolutely amazing, what a nasty bitch, she was so good I felt sorry for her at the end.

@idonttan Let t get this clear . I was blown away by tilda swinton in this movie . Already favorably impressed by her in the beach .But george clooney is also a valuable actor , just another kind . He's a competent leading men performing both a role of icon of masculanity (very classy actor ) and of social awareness (opening interesting and challenging movies). And like coen movies proved he's able to mock his own image . There s only so much he can do and he can t get method with this role.

This film looks boring. Cate should've won.

This movie was so stressful to watch in the beginning and by the end, I only stuck around for Tilda. She was amazing. George Clooney however played his usual annoying charismatic character with a sentimental side which resulted in... boredom and unoriginality.

@yairc19 yes, this was cate's oscar.

[yairc19]

Tilda is great, but Cate as Dylan was God.

She is absolutely stunning. Probably the most beautiful speaking voice I've ever heard. It's not just the accent - I don't know how to describe it.

One of my favorite actresses, easily.

[geekoftheweek27]
