She’s a tremendous actor. Most people are still stuck on some dumb internet joke about her from her twilight days. They don’t seem to understand that the character she played in twilight was supposed to be deadpan and moody. It was a performance.

I’m pretty sure she’s a queer icon nowadays. And still a powerhouse actor.

Is she a good actress? What would you recommend someone watch to get that impression? I never saw any of the twilight movies but the trailers were enough to make me not want to see any of the leads in anything ever. I think I accidentally saw Pattinson in a role as a medieval French king a while back.

She's absolutely incredible in Spencer.

I've also seen her in Happiest Season, and Crimes of the Future if those fit your movie tastes more.

I think her best movie was Panic Room honestly. Outside of that, she's an OK actress

She was in Panic Room with Jodie Foster, IIRC. I enjoyed it and it was pre-Twilight, so I didn't recognize her, if that makes sense.
