Thoughts on her?

Just watching ‘I am Ruth’

This 100%. I was just about to say the same about her donation recently.

Pantsomime · 11/12/2022 21:27

We need more Kate Winslet type people

Katelabonbon · 11/12/2022 21:24

Really up her own arse and a complete luvvie!
Acting with her son and daughter in I am Ruth is just celebrity nepotism!

Her daughter is so like her father to look at

CannonCaboodle · 11/12/2022 21:31

Could someone please tell me what a “luvvie” is?

BeforetheFlood · 11/12/2022 21:33

I'm slightly skeptical about the 'never been tweaked' face. As I recall, both she and Emma Thompson both made public statements denouncing cosmetic procedures and pledging to age naturally, but it seems like an incredible coincidence that they both show no signs of ageing whatsoever beyond a few laughter lines.

I have concluded (as a 50-something woman) that the definition of what constitutes 'anti-ageing procedures' can be very individual. I think KW brands herself as down to earth and unstarry, but she is indeed a very good actress, and it probably takes a Hollywood A list budget to look that glowingly natural.

ClaireandTed · 11/12/2022 21:33

I thought that what she did for the family with the energy bill recently was wonderful and watched her interview afterwards.

Mumzoo5070 · 11/12/2022 21:34

As an extra I spent some time on a film set with her. She was great fun and very chatty.

MonkeypuzzleClimber · 11/12/2022 21:34

I met her briefly once waiting for the loo (just the two of us). She immediately made friendly conversation about my enormous 38 week pregnancy bump and insisted I go first as I ‘must be busting’. Seemed very nice and normal.

She's a great actress but I thought she was very up her own arse on Graham Norton.

I agree with this. She’s very watchable when acting but seemed off on his show.

She has plenty of lines though. Her forehead crinkles up in a completely natural way.

Someone of a critical thinking mindset would queastion why this news story would make the BBC and not try and simp for a millionaire because of a nebulous 'she is nice'

She's great, always been a fab actress, love Heavenly Creatures.

Me too brilliant film. From what I've seen of her on tv going through airports or shopping she's always nice and polite to photographers. Just seems a nice lass.

SeatonCarew · 11/12/2022 21:41

I like her in A Little Chaos.

PoseyFlump · 11/12/2022 21:41

I vaguely remember KW getting some stick back in the day for suggesting she was happier being curvy and then losing shit loads of weight. (Suggesting she wasn't really happy at all) I think the press had her for that. She always seems to come across a bit conceited in interviews. Kinda like a female Tom Cruise.

@tiggergoesbounce

For some reason I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like I Am Ruth!!!!

Nottodaysausage · 11/12/2022 21:42

That's terrible of a mother to say about her daughter. Says more about her mother I think.
I think she's great, she's held her hands up and said working with certain actors was a huge mistake, is hilarious in extras and her face moves 😂

MorrisZapp · 11/12/2022 21:43

Total luvvie but I bet she'd be fab and indiscreet on a night out. Shall we ask her?

Kate Winslet was absolutely fantastic in Mare of Eastown. One of the best things I've seen on TV

Loved that. Kate is very actressy but I've warmed to her over the years. She recently donated £21,000 to a mother of a very disabled child to keep their heating bill down. Self promotion but still

Sophiste · 11/12/2022 21:46

If nothing else, this thread has reminded me to put Mare of Easttown on my Christmas binge-list.

CourtneeLuv · 11/12/2022 21:47

I don't think she's that great. I find there's something unlikeable about her. Mare of Eastown was ok but nothing special.

FuckConvoGiveMeAForest · 11/12/2022 21:48

She was brilliant in Extras, so funny!

She probably just wanted to donate money but the mother told people.

She reminds me a bit of Jennifer Lawrence, huge money and fame but never forget their roots.

Now, if I could only get hold of her PR for my new heater... 😁

You'll have to do better than that for the OP.

Gagaandgag · 11/12/2022 21:50

we really like her
so funny in the extras

Itshouldntbethisway · 11/12/2022 21:51

She's amazing, the bees knees, very special. All English women should try to emulate her. She's incredibly comfortable in her own skin and has my vote.
