Okay, I just don't like Maggie!

The other actresses JG mentions in his post had immense talent and it's a bit silly to mention her in the same breath. Besides, he says she's a character actress yet she's the lead in the film in question.
I haven't seen "Sherry" because I saw MG several years ago as a secretary who is in a strange relationship with her boss and in that erotic role I didn't find her so.
It's relatively easy to portray characters with over-the-top characteristics, i.e. drunks, autistic, crazy, because one can "act" so much. Far harder to play "regular Joe" where nuance is everything.
Anyhow, it's probably impossible to appreciate a leading woman in a film where she's a romantic interest if the viewer finds her unattractive. That's not, I know, the subject of this discussion but it's more of what I meant though poorly expressed.
JG had his points, as did you this time around.
My head is bowed.
I erred.
I shall repent.
I will watch Gyllies' full oeuvre.
