Top 5 Chastain's performances?

Well, it is NOT essential to watch both imo but it helps to eventually see both because the production is so hard to fully grasp - it is in effect a staged reading with no consistent connecting thread across the cast in how they play it, or in staging......... or in wardrobe even - Pacino is in "Pacino-clothes".

The documentary is pretty funny - a lesser Looking For Richard - and covers a lot of fascinating ground about Wilde and the play (I'm sure Morrissey was appalled when Al acts AS Wilde, wtf - but I digress).....and shows you a lot about the artists involved.......BUT it has a lot of the play in it too, so if you watch them both back to back it's almost like a rewatch for some of it.

In the film, Chastain is remarkable if you can contextualize her in this role (which is where the doc helps a lot) and .........I can't stress this enough .........remarkably odd and weird for a debut performance.......I mean she out nutjobs Al, in her first role........which is really saying something
