Manohla Dargis on Jennifer Lawrence:
She’s done her time posing and preening, playing the girlie girl, the paper doll and wide-eyed ingénue, but she’s also muscled onto the big screen alongside multimillion-dollar men like Robert Downey Jr. The odds still are not in her favor, but I’m betting on her to win.
She is, hands down, one of my favorite actors, male or female. Can’t wait to see what the future holds and I’m betting on her to win too…
