What a shame - I thought she was great in Atonement.
Atonement nominated for best screenplay though.

Shes too "pretty and young" at the moment she will need to age a bit before she gets one.

Hassled · 22/01/2008 13:42

And it's got Best Picture nomination

You're probably right - but I do think she's very talented.
Ridiculously long neck though!

good, I think she's a rubbish actress. but she's good at gurning.

Her time will come.

I think some people just take longer to be taken seriously no matter how good they are. How long was Johnny Depp just thought of as a "sex symbol" actor - it just takes time.

southeastastra · 22/01/2008 13:48

ooh is the list in? i don't like keira knightly but haven't seen atonement

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/01/2008 13:49

she's a lousy actress imo

She is talented at maniacal grins, though.

Oliveoil · 22/01/2008 13:50

all she does is pout in a really annoying manner

actress my arse

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/01/2008 13:51

oh yes, the pouting

Hassled · 22/01/2008 13:52

Harsh - the lot of you. Leave my Keira alone .

with pleasure

moonstruck · 22/01/2008 13:57

I think she's awful

LazyLinePainterJane · 22/01/2008 13:59

She's rubbish! She's the same in every film.

MrsMills · 22/01/2008 14:01

and now ladies and gentlemen, the Academy nominations for outstanding jaw -

Keira Knightly

Highlander · 23/01/2008 14:53

how that simpering twat gets such high profile roles I do not know. She plays the same type in every film.

Piffle · 23/01/2008 14:55

she is a vapid actress over rated IMO

Piffle · 23/01/2008 14:56

And re Johnny Depp
I see his name and think Sex ... sorry
Daniel Day Lewis is another, superb actor, I just cannot get beyond the idea of giving him one.
I'm a bit base I guess

Boco · 23/01/2008 14:56

She's not a very good actress. She swings from pucker face to menacing going to bite your face off grin.

Yummers · 25/01/2008 13:07

she's terrible. really annoying.

noddyholder · 25/01/2008 13:07

wooden wooden wooden and awful predictable film.

pooka · 25/01/2008 13:09

Can't stand her. Think she's dull dull dull. And wooden!

GrapefruitMoon · 25/01/2008 13:11

Nothing against Keira Knightly but imo Atonement was a very ordinary, if not dull film...

noddyholder · 25/01/2008 16:00

I agree grapefruit that film was full of every cliche that film makers think will appeal to your average woman!They obviously know little about real women
