I guess by "too pretty" I mean, even in the "before makeover" scenes, she's too clean & neat. She doesn't look poor & beaten down. She's spent her life being cold, hungry, & desperate--but she doesn't look it.
I completely agree with this.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think in Winter's Bone she looked more like what I thought pre make over Katniss would look like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think 16 year old girls often look like grown women on the outside.

On TV and in the movies maybe, but the ones I know in real life very rarely do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ones I know in real life (read: are related to) certainly do. It's a plague.

Some do, some don't. I didn't(in my own estimation) yet I never got carded.

Yeah, I looked like a grown woman (I have pictures, and looking back, it's still true) from about 14 on. Physically, my features and body didn't change much from 14-21. In that range, I was assumed to be about 17/18 all the time.

And people have been thinking I was a grownup since I was about 13. And not because of any styling choices, most of the time.
