I know Vikander and Gleeson from Ex Machina.
Like with "Calvary" it took me a moment to like the film because I was so wrapped up in the protagonists that the endings left me upset to say the least.
Vikander was also good in A Royal Affair, she might be the one of the new-go-to Hollywood actresses.
She's also good in the not-so-great "Testament of Youth". She's forging a great path of roles of herself.
I was a little shy of seeing Suffragette because there is a really old BBC mini-series on the Pankhurst Crusaders, Shoulder to Shoulder with Sian Phillips in the role of Emmeline Pankhurst and she killed that part. I have always been proud to be a feminist after seeing that mini-series.
"Suffragette" used many composite characters and wove it with real people (Pankhurst, Emily Davison) so it stands on it's on--it has the spirit of the real movement behind it.
Did you see The Hollow Crown?
Not yet. I hear he's great IIRC he won a BAFTA for the role.
I wish that he would make some other movies, he is an interesting actor to watch even when he is not at his best.
Other than Jennifer Lawrence when actors get franchises it's as if they cease doing other roles. Prior to Bond Craig was working steadily. I don't know if he's just waiting for the right role or if roles stopped coming to him but he really fell off credits wise once he got Bond. It's a shame. He's such a dangerous actor. He was so dangerous and scandalous in the film "The Mother".
My new TV craze is The Last Kingdom on BBC America. I have got the hots for Alexander Dreymon.
I've heard it's good. My friend watches it. I'm glad Dreymon is working him. He was woefully underused on "American Horror Story: Coven".
He has got the hair and the furs and the sword of my beloved King Robb, the Cutest King in Westeros. And the Dane Vikings are much more fun than any Boltons. And King Alfred is prickly like Joffery but Alfred has brains and intelligence which no one ever accused King Joffery of having, not even his adoring Mum.
It sounds like Game of Thrones but with characters who make better decisions.
