Posted: 9/16/14 at 1:48pmStarting this for no other reason than me wanting to fawn over Marion Cotillard with someone. She has got to be one of the most exciting actresses currently working. Her performance in La Vie En Rose is absolutely thrilling and Rust and Bone should have been a second Oscar nomination. Who else would like to fawn over her with me?

Her skills as an actress are without question.
Her politics are way over the top so I just enjoy her work. I do not respect her because of this

Posted: 9/16/14 at 2:00pmI can just imagine Mr. & Mrs. Roxy in front of the screen running back and forth across the movie theater trying to read those subtitles of hers.

Posted: 9/16/14 at 7:02pmLa Vie en Rose is a beautiful performance. I've heard good things about The Immigrant and look forward to Macbeth.

Posted: 9/16/14 at 7:34pmA woman who just so happens to be as disgustingly beautiful as she is talented. The American film industry is lucky to have her.

Jordan almost made me spit out my wine with that image.
(And, yes, she is a treasure. A deeply sensitive actress who is absolutely luminous on screen. One of those people who seems destined for this career.)

One of the great living actresses, she elevates every frame she occupies. There's no one better. At all.
She pulled off an astonishing feat a few years back, turning in splendid performances in three very bad films from three of the worst directors alive in PUBLIC ENEMIES, INCEPTION and NINE, wiping up the screen with the likes of lesser mortals like Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Posted: 9/17/14 at 3:08pmShe's kind of like this generation's Ingrid Bergman. Brava to all of it!

Posted: 9/17/14 at 4:49pmA wonderful, captivating actress- and stunningly gorgeous. She was really the only redeemable thing about Nine.

Posted: 9/17/14 at 6:47pmI never understand the praise she gets for Nine. I thought she was as terrible as the movie itself, but with her flat and breathy singing voice.

I appreciate her desire to find out what really happened on 9/11.
And the moon landing.
Not crazy about the person, though.
For real?
I don't know the first thing about her as a person, so this makes me sad.

Posted: 9/20/14 at 12:12amShe and Cruz were the ones that made NINE a watchable musical film, and THAT'S tough to pull off!

Posted: 9/20/14 at 5:23amDon't think she's crazy. Seems like rather than being an actual conspiracy theorist she's simply more inclined than most sane people to give them some genuine consideration. Loved her in Public Enemies (which I thought wasn't a bad movie). Loved her in Nine. Unlike many I didn't love The Immigrant but she was transporting in it.

With no disrespect intended, she was certainly not the only person to question the events of 9/11. Plenty of documentaries out there that are truly frightening. Conspiracy theory or not, it's still enough to make you wonder at times.
And as far as the moon landing footage goes, it is widely speculated that Stanley Kubrick filmed that footage for the government on a Hollywood soundstage. Of course, many of these people also see the face of Jesus in Hershey bars on a regular basis.

Posted: 9/20/14 at 1:44pmJeez, can you imagine if that's really what 9/11 was? They didn't want to pay to take down two old buildings so instead they killed a bunch of people? How can someone really think that's what it was?

I guess the recent beheadings are a hoax also?

Posted: 9/24/14 at 2:11pmLove her. She was the best part of Nine. I think she would have been a wonderful choice for The Witch in Into the Woods.

It doesn't make me wonder at all, but I don't have to insist that everything that happens MUST be something entirely different. I knew a guy who INSISTED that every good character in a popular novel or movie series will eventually fulfill a destiny of evil and attempt to support it with any obscure line, scene or passage taken out of context to try and force it as fact because it was more interesting TO HIM and thus, had to have been the creator's intent. The latest 9/11 craze is that the planes had no passengers. I know a guy who bought into that and went berserk on Facebook. I'm sure there is a documentary somewhere that supports this theory for the purpose of making people wonder.
