Best Performance?

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2006)

I honestly thought Heath Ledger's and Michelle Williams' performances were overrated. I thought Jake Gyllenhal stole the show. He was the character that had a personality and the one character i actually cared about. I thought it was a career performance and it is not necessarily overlooked, but under-appreciated. Granted he did get his Best Supporting Actor nomination, but I really think he didn't get the credit that he deserved for this picture. Furthermore, I still don't get why everyone in the world is so in love with Michelle Williams' performance. She was barely in the movie, and basically did the same thing in every scene after they got married. She played the pouting wife role, but really didn't get a charge out of me like actresses such as Rachel Weisz or Mario Bello.
