Is Tilda Swinton inherently campy?

No other actor seems as weird, nor to take weirder parts, nor to attract weirder appreciation.

Not even Cate Blanchett, who is like a much more normal version of Tilda, nor even Jennifer Jason Leigh, who wishes she were as weird as Tilda.

She's kind of the character actor's character actor.

To her benefit given that she started her career working with gay legend Derek Jarman I think she would take "inherently campy" as the highest of compliments

She was not inherently campy in one of her best performances as the mother of a mass murderer in "We Need To Talk About Kevin."

She has been un-campy in several things - also The Deep End, where she played mother to Gay Jonathan Tucker (that scene of Tucker getting fucked by Josh Lucas is so burned into my brain)

Jesus Christ OP that was the whole point of the Kimmy Schmidt joke.

Yes. She is everything to me.

I fucking love her weirdness, coolness, intelligence.

She is the real deal.

She is the David Bowie of acting.
