Been a while since I’ve said “perfect casting”. Elle would’ve been great.

Ikr? Idk what Colman Domingo was thinking, I think Kim Novak should've talked him over that casting.

Unless you want her for looks, I can't imagine casting Sydney Sweeny for acting ability. I watched her in The Housemaid and there was a lot to be desired on the acting side of things.

She’s a passable actress, but when she’s in a scene with a truly great actor like Amanda Seyfried she can’t hold her own.

It's hilarious that Amanda Seyfried is considered a great actor now when she started she was just token ditz blonde............... Arguably less credible than t*** mcghee

Never really noticed her acting to be either particularly terrible or great but when she shares the screen with talented actors it's really, really obvious that she just isn't on the same level. The first time I noticed it was in [this scene ](https://youtube.com/shorts/p9AGyt84sT4?si=1Zs_gF4lebyIg5B5)from "Eden" in which Vanessa Kirby just acts circles around her.

The people who would enjoy Christie are the same kind of people that Sydney Sweeney has turned off of her in recent years.

No one saw it because no one promoted it. Had nothing to do with the quality of the movie since it was quite good.

This is a ridiculous take. If you have seen The White Lotus or Euphoria you would know she has the acting ability of a coffee maker.

If you read the article it’s cause Novak thinks Sweeney is too hot and her t*** are too big.

Not just that, she doesn't think Sweeney has the range to show the vulnerability and emotions of a bipolar actress.

Which is wild because Sydney is very capable of going vulnerable, wild and emotional. As Euphoria shows.

CheapEater101Mar 29, 2026

Sydney’s best acting comes from being over the top emotional. Once there’s dialogue w/ that’s just…normal and balanced, her acting isn’t that good. She would have thrived being a scream queen

Her best acting was in the movie Reality and she was perfectly naturalistic the entire time. It was an insanely hard performance since she had to copy the exact dialogue of the transcript of the real event, which is one of the harder things an actor can be asked to do.

Fr, I know there’s reasons why people don’t like her, but her acting in Euphoria is good, and she showed with Housemaid that she’s a draw when cast in certain types of roles.

Holy c*** this is a misleading comment!
It’s not cause she’s “too hot”. Kim knows how SS has been positioning herself in Hollywood as a “sex symbol” in her performances (which is true, she gets n*** for nearly all her roles).
Kim feels that she doesn’t have the range beyond sex to articulate the emotions that went into the love between her and Sammy. Which is true. Again.

Your comment is saying that it’s simply Novak upset a girl is hot and has big b****. Mine is that she is upset at how SS has marketed herself.
Novak wouldn’t just be pissed a hot, big breasted woman was playing her. She annoyed that it’s a woman who has made it her entire brand.

It’s actually that Sweeney can’t act and that being that much of a sexpot means the movie won’t focus on anything but sex.
Novak doesn’t want to be portrayed as a blond bimbo.

How is Sweeney still getting work outside of the Daily Wire after so many flops in one year?
She’s a toxic brand and a terrible actor.

Sydney Sweeney is producing it. She went to him and attached him to direct -- not the other way around.
