[@lukasribin4168]

Why do you consider that kindness?

[@lukasribin4168]

How did she make her feel pretty also, when she was already a child model and had the entire world calling her beautiful, being treated like a princess on a movie set with A-list co-stars?? She was “set for life” in that regard long before the next movie. And to call a physically attractive person beautiful is not kindness..it’s just making an observation and feeding their ego to boot. Telling an unattractive person the same thing would not be kindness either, it would be a condescending lie.

[@bibinoojen]

@@lukasribin4168 Kirsten Dunst doesn't fit the typical Hollywood/supermodel beauty standards. She has unique features and I interpreted what she said to mean that Sofia made her feel beautiful BECAUSE of her quirks as opposed to in spite of them. Also, not everyone who is considered 'beautiful' has a huge ego, and giving compliments (as long as they're genuine and not creepy) is, in general, a kindness. You could easily make someone's day with a compliment.

[@mash6487]

​@@lukasribin4168lol wtf is this response? no one is "set for life" just because they act. she says in the video, she was at a tough age, in a tough industry. she also says sofia "made her feel beautiful." not just that she told her she was beautiful. big difference. that was hella negative for no reason. hope you're doing okay.

[@jamsandwich6786]

@@lukasribin4168 I think she made her feel beautiful in who she was, like she didn't have to do anything she just was beautiful, which is true and such a gift to be given at such a young age. I feel like it really shines through in Sofia's films, she shows women in a way where they are just quietly beautiful without having it be aggressively sexualised or overdone or anything.

But I love that movie, the soundtrack, the cinematography, everything. I recommend that movie a lot, but it is quite dark, so most of the time my recommendation goes unheard. She's right though, it not only shows depression but the calm of the storm, or shall I say the calm of reality (their reality in the movie, can't spoil it.) I really enjoy the films she's been in, but that is one my favorites overall.

[@eckxs0428]

Skipping Drop Dead Gorgeous, Crazy/Beautiful, Get Over It, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Elizabethtown is just a crime! She has such a diverse filmography. So underrated and immensely talented!

[@therebex23]

Crazy/Beautiful was a fave of mine! I have it on DVD haha.

[@lexappeal318]

agreed! i had forgotten about crazy/beautiful! i loved that movie when i was younger. and elizabethtown is such a lovely movie. this definitely could’ve been a longer one, she’s incredible

[@TheScoppie]

Don’t forget Kiki’s Delivery Service.

[@annabethsmith-kingsley2079]

She's so talented! Her vulnerability in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was incredible! And she was brilliant in Crazy/Beautiful: a very underrated movie.

[@anmnou]

I agree and wish they had talked about that one...she portrayed the helplessness one feels when being in love brilliantly.

I actually really liked her in "How to lose friends and alienate people" She's great in that one

@@irotinmyskin They're trying to show her repertoire so the Academy will feel her deserving of winning an Oscar for "The Power of the Dog." Drop Dead Gorgeous doesn't help make that point.

Kirsten Dunst did an AMAZING job as Marie Antoinette. Still one of my favorite movies. She really captured the naïveté and vulnerability of her. Was so well done

[@rachelsedgwick8322]

The MOST underrated actress in my opinion. She’s absolutely incredible.

[@s.sarmadamer]

@Miss Manawaka for the calibre of talent that she has, she is definitely underrated for not being as wildly celebrated as an icon. Certainly no one denies her much-celebrated success otherwise. In fact it is precisely because she has touched the precipice of "almost" being forever celebrated that a lot of us think she is underrated, for how much she has achieved and how she isn't at the same level as a Scarlet Johansson, for example, who has also grown up doing movies, like Kristen.

[@DiorWater]

I can watch Marie Antoinette over and over and never get bored of it. The music, the costumes, the acting, everything about it is just beautifully done.

[@loganmcdonald568]

Right? It was an amazing movie. I am a sucker for Marie Antoinette and have always been fascinated by her.

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

Its a shame really that the 1938 Marie Antoinette with the divine Norma Shearer is overlooked in favor of the 2006 version. Its just brimming with wonderful performances especially by the beautiful Shearer who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress (not the case for Dunst). Then there are also the lavish costumes and impressive sets. They don't call it Classic Hollywood for nothing.

[@andrewp.stewart4585]

I’ll admit, when I was a kid, and I first saw “Spider-Man”, I had like the hugest crush on Kirsten Dunst. I would say she’s my first celebrity crush.

[@unknownxyz7]

She's a fantastic actress. I hope she knows that, even though she went through depression for some years. You know an actor is good when you forget who's playing the character. And she's so genuine, it's nice to see that in Hollywood.

[@firecrackerheart]

[@joellalia]

_Aanndd_ also on *ALL GOOD THINGS* One of my favorite performances by her

[@michaelcurtis4627]

Sorry to break it to you but she’s definitely not grounded at all. Worked for a magazine back in 2013-2015 she was on set one day and after she was in the grocery store next door. One of the staff at the magazine saw her in produce and he looked at her and then she made security kick him out. Lol it was very telling.

[@IndieCindy3]

@@michaelcurtis4627 there are three sides to every story. Do you really think this is enough to get people to think poorly of her? Perhaps she had a good reason for feeling the need to get security to “kick him out.” Perhaps he said or did something to make her feel uncomfortable. I sure don’t know, I wasn’t there, but if you’re going to bring up something like this you should’ve realized it was hardly enough to make her come off in a bad light.

[@jevinday]

Melancholia was her best performance by far. It is very hard to portray depression and she nailed it ❤

[@Cinetyk]

Kirsten is the kind of female actor where I've know all my life, I first met enjoying the youth and freshness, but then I could not stop enjoying all the years. Melancholia was what it made realize about her, about the fact that I've enjoyed her performances so much over the years. I love her to bits, movies that she's in are sure to be interesting :)

[@Pennylane17]
