Has there ever been a more bland actress than Felicity Jones?

God, who'd want to see that? Or an uplifting movie about Hillary Clinton? Once the film stops and the lights come up you realize how fucked we are in regard to our currently being held hostage by the GOP as they dismantle what was our country. I can't imagine anything more depressing.

There was no American actress who could play this part??? It's not like Jones is box-office.

From the trailer it looks like Hammer plays the "supportive spouse" role generally assigned to women, though it may wind up being more than that.

Awful. Needed someone like Nat Portman in the role.

Jewish with a vengeance.

Natalie Portman was originally going to play the part, but eventually passed and Felicity took over. Judging by the finished product Portman made the right choice. It's so generically visualized. I can't see Portman in this picture at all.

I'm tired of Brits playing Americans.

I should have had this role instead of Felicity.

The word "gender" is meaningless now and needs to be tossed.

R19, I must disagree. She cannot act. Her face is consistently bland and her line readings are not at all believable. Worse she lacks conviction. How did she get this role? I do like the theme song.

Felicity is gorgeous

This trailer has the look of an NBC TV show. Is this really going to play in the theaters?

I'm tired of WASPs playing Jews.
