It was hammy at best and showed an extreme lack of skill when it came to conversation, considering she's meant to be herself.<BR/><BR/>She just didn't fit in with the other characters aptitudes, beliefs and ways of going about things.<BR/><BR/>Good stunt woman though, she should stick to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-62433710126594205902007-11-29T20:34:00.000-05:002007-11-29T20:34:00.000-05:00Yep, Sienna way better in Interview than in Factor...Yep, Sienna way better in Interview than in Factory Girl.

Too bad the movie itself was poorly written - I felt like the film used the song, "Like a Rolling Stone" (and the theory that Ms. Segdwick inspired Dylan to write it) to drive the plot. But Sienna was charming, and had such an amazing presence during the film.<BR/><BR/>Nat, thanks for mentioning Tabu in this. She gave one of the best performances this year, and it's such a shame that she did not get more screen time. <BR/><BR/>I know many liked "A Mighty Heart" (I did not). But, Irfan Khan also gave an amazing performance in that film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-92070225275934517712007-11-28T21:39:00.000-05:002007-11-28T21:39:00.000-05:00Rose, Factory Girl was 2006 and I don't think Nat ...Rose, <I>Factory Girl</I> was 2006 and I don't think Nat saw it.
