Bening was pure camp in AMERICAN BEAUTY.
I don't know if you've ever met a suburban mother (and I'm not saying that all suburban women are like that), but Bening's performance was dead on. I grew up around women just like her. So like her that it was actually bizarre how accurate Bening was in her portrayal. So, I would have to strongly disagree. What I agree on is that Swank's performance was better that year. And the next year Swank won also. Just like Portman is better than her this year.

Posted: 2/5/11 at 3:02pmPerhaps campy was the wrong term. I was going for loud and obnoxious. I was not putting down her performance, but ray-andallthatjazz86 stated that Bening's performance was "less showy" than Swank's and I was arguing that there was nothing subtle about it, whereas Seank's character was rather timid by comparison.
