Criticism? Must-watches? Fave moments?

Good actress. Great sensuality.

Love her. Ever since she appeared in her film debut, much underrated “Joe”, you could tell there’s something magnetic about her screen presence. Even in her early career, it seemed like she was attracted to unusual materials such as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Pretty Baby”. Through the years, she proved herself to be one of the most versatile actresses of American cinema. She could play anything; vulnerable (Lorenzo's Oil, Stepmom), strong (The Client), badass (Thelma and Louise), warm (Little Women), charismatic (Light Sleeper), funny (Bull Durham) and she was always watchable. I also love her “Dead Man Walking” Oscar win, but unfortunately, it seems like ever since then, her career started to decline a bit. Not saying she didn’t get great films or roles anymore but not as often as she used to. Then there’s of course, her sex appeal which is off the charts in “The Hunger”, “Tempest” and especially “White Palace” which is another one of my favorite performances by her. Also very charming in films like “The Bangers Sisters”.
Top 5 underrated performances, in no order: Bernard & Doris (2006) Romance & Cigarettes (2005) The Meddler (2015) Who Am I This Time? (1982) Anywhere but Here (1999)

Oh, I actually like talking about these kind of films while discussing actors 'cause yeah, it's a predictable and sentimental script but the film still works because Sarandon is stellar in it and the rest of the cast are doing a good job as well.

For a while she was the Emma Stone of her day in simmering sexuality on-screen when others would only play act it.....
