I read many The Way Back reviews and actually Jim Sturgess is getting really good reviews.Although Peter Weir asked him to hold back the emotions(It\’s his direction in TWB),so some discribe his performance \”subtle \”.But I love subtle performances.So it\’s no problem for me.

Edward Davis,could you please don’t judge the actor just for a couple of films? And could you please see his performances in \”Fifty Dead Men Walking\” and \”Heartless\” someday? Actually he is great in emotional scenes.You will understand me in the　future.

Btw,here are two comments on Sturgess\’s performance in \”One Day\”.It\’s from audiences who saw the film at test screening.

\”Jim Sturgess- I thought he was excellent. He wonderfully portrayed a character that was like-able, smart and interesting but also clearly flawed and hurting. His acting towards the end was even better. \”

\”Jim was spectacular in his role. Dark, lost little soul who finally settled down to a wonderful reward.\”

Sorry for my English and for the long post.

Hi Tina P. I\’ve seen the Way Back. It\’s a great (or at least very solid) movie despite the non-entity that is Jim Sturgess in the lead. Thankfully, there\’s a great supporting cast around him (Ed Harris, Colin Farrell, Ronan, etc).

Hathaway is a great actress, no doubt about that. She\’s only going to prove that more and more going fwd.

Edward Davis, I hear Jim Sturgess is very good in \”The Way Back\”, and I liked his performance in \”Across the Universe\”. I\’m looking forward to this film because I trust Focus Features & the wonderful Lone Scherfig.

After seeing Anne Hathaway host SNL last year, I\’ve become a big fan . And , I believe she can do anything- comedically or dramatically . On SNL, she did killer impressions of Judy Garland from \” Wizard of Oz\” ( she eerily replicated Judy\’s speaking & singing voice to perfection ) and Katie Holmes ( wickedly funny ! ) . Anne outperformed many of the SNL cast members ( even Kristin Wiig) , and she rarely looked at the teleprompter. Because Hathaway was so brilliant on SNL, the Board of Governors of the Motion Picture Arts & Sciences offered her the Oscar co-hosting gig.

The problem with this film is going to be Jim Sturgess, a non-entity of an actor, frankly.

I heard \”One Day\” was tested very well Last December.I\’m really looking forward to seeing this　film! Variety also says like this,

\”Focus Features has slotted Anne Hathaway-Jim Sturgess starrer \”One Day\” for July 8.
[/i]The summer berth marks a vote of confidence for the romantic comedy, [/i]\”

(FF also gave \”The Kids Are All Right\” July 9 release date (limited) last year.Then expanded it later.So I\’m sure they has confidence with OD,too)

What early word are you talking about?

\”We knew that early wood on this was good\”

Talk about a Freudian slip, yep, Sturgess messes with my synapses too!
