Ridley rules!!

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2016)

Star Wars could have been a repetitive boring film. Yet it was saved by the incredibly gifted and beautiful actress Daisy Ridley. I'm surprised she was not given supreme credit, for Daisy is the driving force in this film. She is the ultimate hero! The force is definitely with Daisy Ridley. What is so amazing about Ridley is that she would have seemed so miscast for the part of Rey. At first glance Ridley looks very much like a young Audrey Hepburn, and has a British accent that could be tailored for Shakespearean roles. Yet Ridley triumphs and makes the character Rey hers and Ridley rules this film. She injects fresh new life into the Star Wars films, something that was sorely needed. She should have been nominated for an Academy Award for her captivating performance. Yet alas sci-fi films don't receive acting awards. A shame. This is one instance where an award should have been handed to Daisy Ridley.
