8 Recent Incredible Movie Performances That Nobody Expected

Even though it has been many years since her Twilight fame, Kristen Stewart is still haunted by her early years in that many people will never see her as a serious actress.

When rumours emerged that she was to play one of the most beloved women to ever come out of Britain, they were met with certain levels of shock and outrage. “That’s the Twilight lass,” the boomers cried, “she can’t play ar’ Di’ that’s an insult!” Well they may find that they have to eat their words, as even before the film is available everywhere it’s tipped that Stewart is pretty much guaranteed an Oscar for her performance.

It’s always going to be difficult to play someone who was so widely loved and seen as public property. People have projected for years their own ideas of who Diana was and who she should’ve been, and when playing her in a Hollywood feature film these are all things Stewart would have to take into account.

From ‘that Twilight lass’ to ‘definite Oscar contender’, she has come a long way. Reviews are already pouring in praising her as “charming,” “uncannily precise”, even “note perfect.” The film’s presentation of Diana may not be for everyone, but Stewart certainly gives it her all.
