Piffle...

We shall never agree on this...the depth is there in the performance, even if you can't ddetect it. Invisible to you doesn't mean it's invisible to others.

Hailee is outstanding in True Grit, Mia is excellent in Jane Eyre, and neither, IMO at least, are homely brunettes.

I'm not alone here.

Here's praise from Andrew O'Hehir's favorable review in Salon:

"Mia Wasikowska's performance as the ultimate Gothic-novel heroine should propel this remarkable 21-year-old Australian to another level entirely. In my recent conversation with Fassbender, he compared Wasikowska to a young Meryl Streep, and now I see it. Jane must be alternately ferocious and vulnerable, modest in manner yet enormous in spirit, and utterly unwilling to compromise her moral code. She has to embody all the story's contradictory themes -- the idea, for instance, that women are the stronger sex, and strongest of all because their destinies are limited and they must so often be subservient -- without ever saying so, and Wasikowska does this in almost miraculous fashion."
