Cotillard's French accent effectively underscores her otherness, suggesting that she might be the equivalent, with her Medusa braids and outre, Adam Ant-style smear of blue eyeshadow, of a medieval mail-order bride who'd understandably like a better life than the hard scrabble of survival in a shabby tent watching her children die. It's a smart move making her be a witness to the death of Lady Macduff, thus precipitating her guilt-fueled breakdown later. Cotillard nails the character's final, "out damn spot" monologue with a display of cracked sanity and despair that will surely reap this already much admired actress further awards recognition.
... but if anything, Cotillard becomes more impressive as Lady Macbeth begins to recoil from the great evil she has, at least partially, midwifed into being. The simplicity with which Kurzel stages her great "To bed" monologue.. she cycles through every one of that remarkable speech's colors. This is perhaps the best single performance moment I've seen in Cannes.
As for Cotillard, apologies for stating the obvious, but her performance here once again demonstrates why she is one of the world’s greatest actors. The French-born Oscar winner delivers Shakespeare’s prose flawlessly and her Lady Macbeth has a shadow of grief that humanizes her more traditional interpretations of the role.

Woo lord the way Taylor killed off Katy with one swift era. Poor kats all they had going for them was katy being number 1 and they got so cocky, now shes back to being a talentless joke of an artist they have nothing left to bring to the receipts table, no talent, no musicianship , no impact, no grammy , no respect ect etc
The fact the monsters think Taylor marrying Gaga for her money is something to be proud of. With as much money as she has she could have found someone much hotter. She STILL loses
