I guess I saw her in <em>Fracture</em>, though I don't remember anything about her in that, so I came to her fresh.<br /><br />Basically I think she really gets the fundamental Linklater character type, which is someone whose enthusiasm is infectious and endearing even while they're being incredibly naive, stupid and irritating. I love Linklater probably because that's how I feel about a lot of his characters; he gets you on his wavelength of enthusiasm, even when you can't share it, and I think Kazan was perfect for him. Even when she's declaiming "Ode to a Grecian Urn," I can see it both ways. <br /><br />I believe Dan Sallitt thought her performance was overstated, which I can see. But I thought she was dead-on.Vadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748591562916338637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-60388508183672919492010-02-09T22:16:06.782-05:002010-02-09T22:16:06.782-05:00I do like Zoe Kazan, but I'm not sure what she...I do like Zoe Kazan, but I'm not sure what she did in that film to gain so much love, other than not being Claire Danes.Bilgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-30534014435542444622010-02-09T22:07:17.381-05:002010-02-09T22:07:17.381-05:00I do not see how this performance is particularly ...I do not see how this performance is particularly notable.
