This was Stone's best performance, ever. But who really surprised me was Mark Ruffalo, taking on a role totally different than anything he's ever done before... beautifully.

[@waggawaggaful]

Ruffalo was actually a brilliant choice because his lack of experience and lack of confidence in playing such a villainous character gave his performance a stilted and unnatural vibe that fits the overall aesthetic of the film perfectly. He's uncomfortable in those scenes and we can feel it. It adds some humor to the film and keeps it from getting too dark.

[@MaanSelene]

Fully agree; spot on! And the "being uncomfortable" is actually SPOT on for the character of Duncan Wedderburn.

[@radioterri]

This film was so special and should win all the awards!! I never wanted it to end!! Brava Emma Stone!!

[@Aphrovav]

She will be the woman to beat in the Best Actress category this year 😊😊🥰🥰🥳🥳

[@nuclear_hawk]

It’s the best performance of the year so far for me, but Lily Gladstone will be running in Best Actress and I’m not sure I can envision her losing given the strength of the performance, the acclaim she’s received, and the cultural significance of the academy awarding their first acting Oscar to a Native American which will 100% be a factor in their decision.

[@clairemarie231]

This movie was a trip but so beautifully done. The first little bit was so uncomfortable but that’s exactly the point! We saw it this afternoon and wanted to go back after dinner. We’ll be sure to this is at least once more in theater and then will be purchasing a hard copy as soon as it comes out. I hope they get all the awards.

[@Illuminatedperfume]

You summoned up what I felt/feel as well! I loved it so much, and would really love it to sweep the awards...so much better then men & war.

[@rebeccatighe1505]

I've seen it twice on the big screen and also plan to purchase it. It's a masterpiece!

[@Joey.Johnson1722]

Finally! The multiverse where Green Goblin, Gwen Stacey, and The Hulk meet!

[@kfw9257]

Damn, that Oscar Isaac prank story is so good lol.

[@rudymarquez1939]

This movie is very entertaining. I didn’t want to see it at first. I’m so glad I did. It’s truly funny. All the props to the director. Emma will win the Oscar, it’s that good of a performance.

[@Linusrox123]

Thanks, Jacqueline Coley. Not enough interviewers like you.

[@MaanSelene]

Literally the best movie I've ever seen. I saw it twice already and seriously considering watching it a third time. Loved Emma, loved Ramy, loved Willem....absolutely LOVED Mark. Thanks to his inexperience in this type of role, he's the reason the movie doesn't become too dark. ❤

[@sweetf.a.9910]

I have seen this and will go see it again. I laughed out loud so many times.

[@joldini]

Ramy is so very precious.

[@jackdixon5406]

[@creolelady182]

Those dance sequences are always in this directors movies

[@ceced1417]

They were so good in this movie! I really liked it even though it was shocking. The production design & costume was beautiful. Loved the acting! These two were great!

[@mmmwww5]

I haven't seen the movie, but the dancing scene remind me of the music video Emma was in "Anna"

[@mariat7585]

Emma deserves the Oscar for this one! No other performance can compare to hers this year.

[@5tephanyAnaya]

great interviewer

[@LECITIZENTEN]

Favorite movie of the year

[@deborablois6250]

The best film ❤

[@arnabgupta583]

Lovely movie

[@creolelady182]

Isnt this just another rendition of My Fair Lady?

[@benzos5704]

This movie is clearly about what happens when you give a woman too much agency. Loved this movie.

[@anavilla7134]

DE QUE SE RÍEN? PROTAGONIZAN UNA PELI , BIEN PERO BIEN, CUTRE

[@FaeryVixen]

did Ruffalo call Emma, Emily?? or did I hear that wrong?

[@laurenlaveria9025]

Just heard it😂

[@melissabrowne100]

Emily is her real name :)

[@faeryvixenetc]

cool! did not know that! thanks! @@melissabrowne100

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

I think her real name is Emily.

[@johnhereth2692]

That's her name. Emily Jean Stone.. SAG prevented her from using her actual name because another actor had already registered the name. Clear.

[@amjh4lah809]

First comment, 7th like and crazy early 😊 I definitely want to see this ❤

[@Joey.Johnson1722]

Do you want a cookie?

[@amjh4lah809]
