Just watched again the other night. No question she's a skilled actor.
She was also great in 'Burn After Reading' - Tony D. 23:11:02 07/26/10 (0)
She gave new life to the Ball Busting Bitch archetype.

- Critical role...without which the film would have flopped. She won an Oscar for that role. - Tony D. 23:20:19 07/26/10 (1)
  Not that an Oscar means a whole hell of a lot but at least someone recognized how perfect she was as Karen Crowder.

    iconic females: cold.
    She doesn't, believably, project warmth, vulnerability, grief, deep emotional feelings (except negative ones). She tries but it seems artifice.
    Haughty, domineering, independent are her attributes.
    Not quite one-dimensional but....
She was fabulous in "Orlando" * - mr grits 19:09:28 07/26/10 (5)

- Great bit part in Broken Flowers near the end (actually pretty hot) ^ - Road Warrior 19:47:39 07/26/10 (4)
  - She has a LONG topless scene in this film which is..... - tinear 21:10:34 07/26/10 (3)
    unfortunate.
    She's 50, saggy (who isn't at that age?), and her breasts aren't very appealing; certainly, not worthy of various close ups, pans, and framing shots which go on for minutes.
    I don't know if she felt challenged by Winslet's familiar topless scenes, or what, but it was ill-advised.
    Frankly, I felt embarrassed for her.
    - Winslett is nothing to look at either. * - mr grits 14:52:17 07/27/10 (2)

      - Winslet, I'd argue, is the most beautiful face in film at the moment. Also, she has a very wide range - tinear 09:34:37 07/29/10 (1)

        I gotta vote for Marion Cottilard.
        
        Her eyes may be the best ever.
        
        Winslet, while no slouch, couldn't possibly be considered one of the prettiest.
