Zoe Bell in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was so f'n bad. Grateful she was barely in it. She completely derails that second act of Death Proof with how awful she was. She must have great feet or something for him to start suddenly casting his stunt woman in acting parts. One I always go to in conversations like this is Milla Jovovich's comical miscalculation (I think) as Joan of Arc. It's a damn shame, because just a couple of years prior she turned in a tremendous performance under Besson's direction in the most unexpected sort of place you would expect to find a great performance, and then of course when they do this big prestige thing she embarrasses herself. Another similar work of laughably overblown histrionics that ruins the movie around it is Shahrukh Khan in Devdas. |

Was going to check it out to see how he compared with Shahrukh Khan. |

She's amazing) |

Taika Waititi.Absolutely diabolical in Jojo Rabbit. Yes. Love Taika and love Jojo Rabbit, but his turn here is the weak link, and it's just bad. It's not because he's playing Hitler, that didn't bother me. It's because he has the worst lines and he delivers them so smugly. |

I remember watching the film in cinema and most people walking out thinking Aishwarya was the MVP but Madhuri was definitely the best for me. |
