Overrated actress. If you can catch an actor acting in a role, they have failed, and it's easy to catch Blanchett acting in every role. Irrespective of how many Oscars she has won (modern Oscars are a joke anyway) she is not as talented as many other actresses out there
@markorakocija5473

@@commanderkeen3787 I agree with you in the sense that she is obviously a theatre actor rather than a screen actor. Sometimes that doesn't translate well to the screen. Her approach to acting didn't make a good fit with a director like Linklater, but it fit perfectly with someone like Woody Allen (or Todd Field of you will). IMO, she is easily the best and most interesting actor of her generation.
To hear Cate Blanchett saying: "That's a movie!" felt so good on so many levels.

You'll even probably try to come up with some obscure actress that you profess is the greatest of all-time because you are probably that pretentious & it makes you believe you are more superior, so go for it. I have no desire to prove anything to something like you. What I do know is that for all the actresses I've been wowed by in my life such as Katharine Hepburn, Ellen Burstyn, Gena Rowlands, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert, Sissy Spacek, Julianne Moore, Setsuko Hara, Barbara Stanwyck, Marion Cottillard, Anna Magnani, Vivien Leigh, Olivia De Havilland, Ingrid Bergman, Liv Ullman etc., she is right up there with the best of them. So take it or leave it.

Such a blessing hearing intelligent people have fun talking about the movies they love. The thrill they get from the camerawork, the acting.
Good picks. 'Summer with Monika' is one of Bergman's best, but 'The Ascent' and 'A Man Escaped' (probably my favourite Bresson film) are fantastic. I would recommend those to anyone who hasn't checked them out.
I’ve been waiting and wanting all day to watch this video after work… shows how wonderful this series is!

I would pick "In the Bedroom". A contemporary drama like no other. Narrated and directed with great delicacy. Thanks for the return, Mr. Field.

@@jonahw4908 If movies were always about people who do only good things, we would be living in some kind of authoritarian state. I think this movie makes people like you mad because it's humanizing someone you find repulsive. Art is a place to do that. Art is a place is to show that we're all human beings, from the worst to the best. I also think reactions people have to this movie are more a reflection of the viewer rather than the filmmakers' actual opinions. I never truly sympathized and cried for Blanchett's character. I only empathized and saw her as a human being.

Great marketing having those two digging through the closet with Tar in theaters soon.
Now that's a closet full of talent - am so glad Fields is back making films, and with Cate Blanchett! These two are serious about serious movies and they clean out the closet - and I'm sure Criterion couldn't be happier to accommodate. It sure is fun to watch.
Wow, great closet duo. I cannot wait to see TÁR.
These sneak peaks into the closet always deliver! Now I know what people see when I go out with my friend Abby. She's beautiful and a bit manic while I'm the calm inside the storm. Cheers!

With the awards she has already collected for TAR she became the most awarded actress ever in the entire film history...
