For her role in the ghost thriller "Personal Shopper", which although was met with mixed reviews due to its eeriness, has been named as one of the most divisive films she's done. It has been named one of her best performances to date.
Quote:
Assayas's film still seems a little more vital, in part because Stewart's performance—which smart money says will be Cannes's Best Actress winner
Stewart is a terrific actress, her brittle exterior barely masking whatever tempest she or her characters are battling underneath, and here, the unpredictability of what she may do next is heightened by the fact that there are no rules for what can happen.
Stewart is not yet an actress of sprawling range, but what she’s able to do in this vein, not so much playing a character as expressively inhabiting a mood, is rather remarkable. Stewart plays this curious liminal energy—Maureen can channel into the spiritual plane, but is very much a citizen of the hard and practical real world—with a delicacy and a deep commitment. Her performance suggests she and Assayas are connected on some peculiar, powerful wavelength. She just gets him, somehow.
It is actually Assayas’s best film for a long time, and Stewart’s best performance to date. Kristen Stewart’s performance is tremendous: she is calm and blank in the self-assured way of someone very competent, smart and young, yet her displays of emotion are very real and touching.
It’s a flawed, yes, but enjoyable drama, with an intense performance from Kristen Stewart who moves up a notch here to mature leading lady. With Personal Shopper, she could be in with a shot for Best Actress at Cannes as well, though Toni Erdmann’s Sandra Hüller will be hard to beat, and Ruth Negga’s performance in Loving is also impressive.
If she can snatch Cannes Best Actress right after snatching the Cesar.
If she gets the Oscar nom
The ULTIMATE clapback to those who said she couldn't act.
Café Society, Personal Shopper, Certain Women, and Billy Lynn all seem so promising
I can't if she gets a nom I will CRY
