I've loved her ever since I first saw her in Orlando. Hell, I willingly paid to see a Leonardo DiCaprio movie because she was in it!
In other news, I just found out that she's going to be the White Witch in the film version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I've loved her ever since I first saw her in Orlando.
I don't get the Tilda love. I hated, hated, hated Orlando. And I think the only other movie I saw her in was Female Perversions, which made me almost run screaming from the theatre. I tend to avoid movies she's in because I assume they will be pretentious pieces of crap.
I think she is one of the most beautiful people ever to walk the face of the earth, and I hear she is a lovely woman, but I find her a terribly limited actress.
I just did a Google to clarify.
I think she's not good looking. Elfin, but without the good bits.
I liked her in
The Deep End,
didn't hate her in
Orlando.
Mostly I don't remember she exists.

So, I am lucky I've only ever seen one movie she's been in, plus a lot of still photos. Good to know!
Well, I'm just basing it on two...so I'm probably not being the master of rational thought.
And I'm being a liar at that because I just looked her up on IMDB, and I've seen her in Vanilla Sky, Adaptation, and Wittgenstein too. But I don't remember her in any of those.
She was in Adaptation? Huh. I liked her in The Deep End, which had the added bonus of Goran Visjnic.
Hmm. I've seen three of her movies--
Orlando, The Deep End,
and
Adaptation.
I liked all three movies and *loved* her in
The Deep End.
I thought she was marvellous, playing against type.
I should rent
Young Adam.
I have no feelings one way or the other about Tilda Swinton.
I watched
The Village
yesterday, and it took me a little while to get into it, but I ended up quite liking it. I think it helped that I knew the "twist" going in, so I didn't feel cheated by it. But I thought it was nicely atmospheric and creepy, and Bryce Dallas Howard was luminous--she reminded me more than a little of Rebecca Lizard, actually.
