She's superb in Orphan Black. Indeed she does, she's a great human being too. I would think any role she gets after OB will be a walk in the park for her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She moved to L.A. recently, which was probably a wise career decision, and Stronger is his first film post OB, so I'd hope she'd get more film offers. Her upcoming projects list right now seem a bit empty right now unfortunately, though. Edited September 17, 2017 by Fancyarcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though she probably could retire on her OB money and be fine, she doesn't live extravagantly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her presence and acting, and I'd like to see her in more films too. Edited September 17, 2017 by Fancyarcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I hope this film succeeds because it's supposedly a quality film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Oh, that's good! I thought it went wide next week, which woulda been dumb considering competition plus slow marketing. 29th works alot better. I liked October the 13th as a date for it, personally.

filmlover Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This is now at 98% on RT. I think it can do $3M+ this weekend being one of the first prestige-y movies of the fall to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hard to tell how many theatres it's on, but I can definitely see it becoming Roadside's second biggest film to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't look awful or anything, but I expected it to be around the 70s on RT, but almost 100%? Instantly interested. Hopefully, I'll have the time to see it soon.

rjones1325 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I don’t know how the director of 'Pineapple Express,' 'Your Highness, and 'The Sitter' pull an ultimate Adam McKay and surprise the hell out of everyone with what he can truly do as a director, but he did. Earlier this year, there was a film called Patriots Day which was about the tragic events of the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013. This may be the second consecutive year where a film centered on events of the Boston Marathon Bombing end up on my best movie of the year list, and I don’t know how to feel about that. 'Stronger' is not one of those dramas with a story that tells, “through his many losses, one man still found hope,” for it is a deep character driven film that shows even when the worst travesties can happen to a person, that person would still be the same person as before. It's one of those films that boldly expresses that some people aren't subjected to change, and that is one of the most human qualities a film can have. You barely see that level of realism of how messy a person's life can be in modern biopics nowadays. There are some scenes where I forget that I’m watching a movie but a tragic character study. This may be Maslany’s first major film role, and she deserves every accolade that you know she's bound to be nominated for. Maslany brings a ton of emotion as her character, Erin is the one who helps Jeff get on the right track to becoming better as both a person and back on track for his life. Just like Orphan Black, she can be sweet one second and then take no shit in the next. It's so distressing to see how far she goes with Jeff as you see her go from square three to square one numerous of times. You get hints of how their relationship was prior to the film’s opening. While you think, “ Oh he can’t be that bad as a boyfriend,” you see how poorly he treats her that you believe that even if his legs were still attached, he would've still been the same person regardless. She is the only thoroughly likable character who is the voice of reason, and at times you resonate with her more than Jeff, and he’s the one who is in a wheelchair without any legs. But seriously if Gyllenhaal doesn't get an Oscar nomination for his performance, I’m going to kick someone’s ass. https://rendyreviews.com/movies//stronger-review 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkmachine Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Saw this last night and I liked it pretty well. Every second Tatiana Maslany isn't on the screen the film drags though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
