[@gypsywoman9140]

Both Jamie and Lindsay were brilliant in that movie. Jamie's middle-aged-teen made for the laughs, whereas teen-middle-aged Lindsay's character was more understated because that was her role. She was to set up and react to the comedy moments for Jamie, which is pretty rare for a teenage starlet to set the stage for the older woman to shine. They were both brilliant and played well off eachother

When Lindsay Lohan was playing guitar and singing, she is a professional so she didn't fake it. I heard once that Jamie had to learn to play guitar. The scene where Jamie lip-synced in that part I LOVED it.

It would be super cool to see a movie interpret God as a female character with someone like Jamie Lee Curtis. Kinda like how they did with Morgan Freeman in Bruce and Evan Almighty, except with a woman.

[@tpb_1]

One of the best and most iconic actresses in Hollywood.

[@sophiarodriguez3706]

Love so many parts of this, but when she said, "I would've done this movie if it had just been 'Knives Out' and Michael Shannon," I loved her even more. Michael Shannon is a criminally underrated actor. So not only is Jamie Lee Curtis a phenomenal actress, she spots greatness where few others have.

[@TheBloveall]

Imo it's a terrible film. I'm guessing VF lets them choose what movies they want to talk about it. Or they ask about all of them and then edit it down to their favorites.

[@JazzyUte]

It's amazing how much she speaks about the directors and everyone who helped her along the way. Her story isn't just her story and she's not afraid to discuss the many players who made her who she is. That's something you often don't see in these career retrospectives. You can tell she has great respect for those she works with and isn't afraid to call that out.
