I loved her in The Substance but - just as I love all Nicole Kidmans performances - it makes me sad to see how strange looking most actresses over 40's look in Hollywood. I know the pressure of the industry must be a lot to deal with but it completely takes me out of a movie or tv show now. Surely it's better to look old than it is to look unnatural. I just think of Frances McDormand in Three Billboards where she looks her age but it means she can play a versatile amount of roles.

Idk maybe this is a judgmental rant but as woman not in her 20's media consumption is exhausting at the moment.

Edit: I know this is probably extra harsh considering the movies topic and this interview

Does she look unnatural?

She looked great in the movie to me.

IA. she's obviously had work done but imo, I don't think it's gotten as bad as Kidman's.

[automaticpeople]

Yeah, her skin still looked normal in the movie. She still had texture and wrinkles.

I read a review of Nicole Kidman's upcoming film Babygirl and there is a scene where her character gets Botox and everybody talks about it and I think that is Kidman's way of acknowledging the cultural conversation around her face.

when i finally watched the godfather for the first time i was thinking about how ofc al pacino is very good in it but it feels so different from a later performance in something like heat, where he gains so much power and gravitas from the natural expressiveness of a face that has lived through time (i’m sure he’s also had at least some stuff but ykwim), and his experience as an actor and a person infuses the performance and becomes part of the character in this really wonderful way, and it made me so sad to think about how many women in hollywood are cutting themselves off from a powerful tool in their artistic arsenal as they age, because their youth is valued more than their power. there are exceptions ofc (meryl streep, a lot of the brits), but like… idk. as an actor your expressiveness is your tool! your experience is your tool! it sucks that this is not just the easy answer in all cases!
