Almost every great actor or actresses has a signature physical move - in the case of the Blanchett, the best actress of her generation to me, it's her use of her smile or her mouth. It's quite brilliant imo - she can smile in a way that conveys warmth but doesn't always reflect warmth, she can freeze her mouth in a way that invokes being panic stricken, when she breaks down it is almost in an audible way - sometimes it's the way a sound/word from her mouth gets clipped or cut off ...........it's her thing......like how Anthony Hopkins hesitates before speaking dialog. Not sure about this material overall though but she was acting full of swagger at the Globes, like "just you wait until you see me next".  |

From one of the writers of Mad Men which gives me hope ... but I'm not sure about the tone I'm picking up on here, at least from the trailer it doesn't seem like they're showing Schlafly as a villain of a modern American political history, which, hm... I can appreciate trying to complicate her I guess, but I'm also not sure that she deserves that? We'll see. If any actress can pull this off it's probably Blanchett.

Oh honeys, I'd have two Academy Awards by now if Blannie hadn't stolen my career. Just give me the Emmy for this now!

Cate looks to be in her best here!! And Rose Byrne also seems very good. So much acting talent involved in this one!

An interesting point - since Trump's election, the Equal Rights Amendment has regained much of its lost steam. Nevada, Illinois (Schlafly's home state  ), and Virginia have all voted to ratify it in the last 4 years, which pushes it well over the threshold for state approval for ratification (even with the few states that rescinded their ratification - not sure if those rescissions would even hold up in court) - if Trump is good for anything, it's definitely lighting a fire in activism.  |

And of course the glaring irony with Schlafly is that she wouldn't have had the influence she did without the women's liberation movement. |

Between this and the upcoming Nightmare Alley and Lucille Ball biopic, Cate is making the best career choices of any actress 50+. This should win her an easy Emmy.

95% now, this is clearly looking like the first all-timer TV performance of the 2020s. Premieres tomorrow......the commercials have been really great too |

Anybody else check out the first 3 episodes that are up?
Besides some soundtrack quibbles, a well-made production so far - the costume design! and grainy, active visuals. Standout is of course Blanchett who's kinda brilliant so far... sharply intelligent, anticipatory, charming though outmoded, and we're starting to see some winding up, cunning gears. Two specific highlights: the look she gives her husband after the "...You thought I'd lose?" realization and a DC scene, with James Marsden and other delegates, where she catches herself giving way and roars back defiantly at them.
Tracey Ullman & especially Margo Martindale are supporting standouts and are hilarious.....

Watched the first episode, great stuff. Very nicely paced and it looks wonderful. The cast is the clear standout element, with Blanchett being reliably brilliant, once again immersing herself fully into a real-life figure in wholly convincing fashion. Looking forward to watching more.

Very good from a production design angle and evoking the whole era, quite funny, easily watchable.
Blanchett is ......sort of like a polite Stepford wife who's also popped a circuit crossed with an apparently warmer yet simultaneously less human Laura Ingraham.....or something like that.........I can't quite put my finger on it .....her entire demeanor down to her posture is remarkable (or at least I noticed it) and in how she presents this character overall, vocal intonation and conveying shrewdness is completely on-point........it's the totality of effect kind of acting and there is a great theatrical wit to the whole creation too ........ it's something else tbh.

No one is talking about Rose Byrne's brilliance? Why? She's great as always, once again taking on a very different role and killing it. Her range continues to really impress me. Everyone in this cast is on fire here. |

Episode after episode, this ensemble cast continues to blow me away. If there is better acting in 2020 in any medium, I'll be shocked. Really, this entire production is so exquisitely served, you're doing yourself a disservice if you aren't watching.
Television has completely eclipsed film at this point IMO.

E4 & 5 are two more strong eps. The cameo of who plays Tom Snyder was a nice surprise. Prob in the minority here, but Rose Byrne's perf to me is oddly lethargic... I have no idea what Gloria Steinem was like in real life but Byrne, who I usually like, seems off. On the other hand, Tracey Ullman is phenomenal in E4... adds a whole lot to nothing little scenes like her cocktail date, where she's venting, ruminative, and lost in thought all at once - a Supp Emmy nom coming up? Blanchett wows in every one of her scenes. At times I'm thinking no actress right now can do more with a single look. Like when the dude who finds her son's wallet leaves, her look lasts two seconds but says at least seventeen things. FX's female perfs in limited series, for the last five years, are on the money. Dunst in Fargo; Lange/Sarandon in Feud; Williams in Fosse Verdon; now this. |
