Mia Wasikaka

How did she manage to get a filmcareer? Nepotism? She is bland, has no presence, no charm, looks average and is only a passable actress. What gives?

• Knee pads.

  Mia

• She was terrific in "In Treatment" on HBO, a real tour de force for such a young actress. That's what launched her, and deservedly so. She hasn't quite lived up to that series of performances yet in her film work but she has great potential.

• She was fabulous in Jane Eyre.

• There are worse actresses working in films today

• She has the charisma of a block of wood. I'm glad that most attempts to make her happen have failed miserably.

• She'll never be a true star until she changes her name to something people can pronounce...

• I thought she was lovely in The Kids Are Alright.

• Sometimes, one good role doesn't translate into a great film career.

• She was a total zero in Albert Nobbs.

• She's a very good character actress, she does good work and I think disappears inside a role. But no, she doesn't have the charisma of a movie star (but most actors don't).

• Of all the young starts that were foisted on us by Hollywood in recent years, I find her to be the most genuine actor in the bunch. She actually *wants* to work.

• I think she's excellent! I'm surprised you don't agree. Oh well....

• Didn't see her in IN TREATMENT, but liked her in THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. However, she was the least interesting Jane Eyre I've ever seen and she was a drab ALICE IN WONDERLAND (never mind that the film was awful too). She's one of those actresses who are fine in smaller-scale realistic roles, but she lacks the charisma to play leading roles.

• Apparently Mia is a very nice, down-to-earth person.

• OP loves Kristen Stweart.
