Comments on: Nicole Kidman couldn’t bear to watch herself in ‘Australia,’ critics agree http://www.celebitchy.com/30214/nicole_kidman_couldnt_bear_to_watch_herself_in_australia_critics_agree/ Stylish celebrity escapism Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:32:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: frewt http://www.celebitchy.com/30214/nicole_kidman_couldnt_bear_to_watch_herself_in_australia_critics_agree/#comment-182804 frewt Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:13:38 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=30214#comment-182804 I used to think she was an above average actor. She lost it somewhere along the line along with her ability to emote naturally. I'm Australian and the LAST film I plan on paying to see at the cinema is that cheesy looking epic - Australia.

I thought she was great in this film, esp revealing a new comic timing. NY Times critic praised her, btw. I do agree, however, that it's unfortunate what's happened to her beautiful face.

I thought it was one of Nicole's better performances. She was in pratically every scene of the entire 2 1/2-hour film, and it called for a wide range of emotions. She did it convincingly. I wasn't sitting there thinking of her as Nicole Kidman, I was seeing her as the character.

At least she's not spouting off about what an awesome job she did or what a challenge the role presented, blah,blah,blah. I mean, you'd never in a million years hear Tom Cruise,for example, criticizing his performance in anything. He's AMAZING. I admire her candor regarding her performance, at any rate.

No, I haven't seen Australia, but she can (could) act - it's just a shame that she's hobbled herself with Botox. @sauronsarmy - agree that she looked much better with the red hair.

First of all she WAS pregnant, you could tell by looking at her. SEcondly, if nobody in Australia is going to see the movie, how did it make more at the BO than the latest James Bond movie?  Except for the first 30 minutes *why BAZ why* Australia was a very good movie. BTW, most of that article is made up.  She made those statements months ago. She didn't flee Australia with her husband and child because of embarassment, she came back quickly because she had to leave her child in Nashville. Wow you people are cruel.

Of all of those dozens of people ranging in age from late 20s through early 60s, I do not know a SINGLE PERSON who has gone to see this movie or who even plans to do so. As I sat at the hairdresser yesterday, everyone in there was asserting the same thing -- that they think Kidman is a perfectly dreadful actress, shockingly overpaid for next to nothing, and that Baz needs to reign in his "cheeseball epics" tendencies. I've seen several of her movies on television or dvd over the last decade, and no, I never "got it" about why she was considered so fab. The fact that she refuses to engage in any critical appraisal about her body of work over the years speaks volumes to the fact that she is probably as shallow as a mud-slick and she considers that frozen face to be her best asset.

The script was boring, bad, with a silly boring and terribly annoying story about a child who was even more annoying. The director went over the top and made things even worst. With a shitty script, even if they had Vivian Leigh, they couldn't save that film.
