Is Jennifer Lawrence a bad actress?
I would say she is one of the better actresses in her generation. Watch Winter’s Bone (2010) Forget the commercial Hunger Games(2012,2013,2015), X Men First Class (2011),X Men Apocalypse(2014) . She wasn’t bad, it was just acting in superhero movies. Watch Silver Lining’s Playbook (2012) . Forget Joy (2015). Look at American Hustle (2013). I would say she is better than most of her generation for Bones. . Is she overrated/pushed by academy/critics? Of course. Every generation we have such phenomenon.She is white, American, talented, pretty and likeable -what better candidate? I thought it would be Amy Adams at one point. Then I thought the ‘chosen one ‘ would be Lupita Nyongo this decade, after her 12 Years a Slave role. But she isn’t a white American, eh? Lawrence is currently experiencing an America's Sweetheart status that seems to predate these cynical, media-savvy times...
