Yes, guys like Rohmer and Bresson had little respect for actors and purposefully "rehearsed" them (almost all of whom were non-professional actors) until not a shred of originality was left.
In Hollywood efforts, one chooses actors for their ability to act in a certain style. Swinton, an unknown commodity to 99.9% of the American film-going audience, obviously was chosen for her ability. That ability, unfortunately, wasn't on display.
Talented actors find ways to infuse tiny, underwritten parts with individuality and humanity. She didn't. These actors also have bargaining power with the directors, i.e. let's try it this way.
It is also true that scripts are not written in stone but rather shaving cream.
