It came out on the last day of September, so that makes it relevant.

FYC: Eva Green for Best Supporting Actress in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Okay, it won't happen. She'll have her day. Maybe soon, with Euphoria or Polanski's next picture. But this performance in another movie would spark some awards conversation, and 13 years after Depp went lead for a movie about skeleton pirates... Has anyone else seen it? I'm not just being biased, right? When she could have easily phoned it in, she hits everything they gave her out of the park.

Another vote for Eva Green in Penny Dreadful. It is kind of uneven and they seemed to want to jam-pack it will all the horror characters of the 19th cen making it kind of like a high production values Supernatural, but she really is great. (Also Billie Piper and the actor who plays Dr F's monster.)

The "ones" horrified by ELLE are puritanical douchebags. I can't think of a movie with so much freedom as this one this year so far. They've called it "mysoginist" and they're not only missing the point, but killing the messenger in the process. It's brutally funny, so I guess they also kind of lame and lack on sarcasm or any kind og humour. What else? Huppert should receive all the accolades she can get. It's the trickiest of roles, only HER could played it out with so much success. A summation of her career in a caper.
