| Interesting. I thought her performance was shrewdly conceived to add a layer to the role She played a smart woman who wanted a competitive career in the shop. She demonstrated the traits that would make her employable. Demonstrable ambition and drive. And then she let the music -- ah, that music -- take care of the vulnerability. So she presented the external and internal lives of this woman with complexity. The songs deepened her, and revealed a kind of emotional transparency that (she assumed) might cost her if revealed. |
