. Stone did a hell of a job making you genuinely hate her in that role.


Some folks want to slam Casino for Stone's performance, but I think they're confusing dislike for the character with a bad performance. She's mesmerizing for parts of this film.

Apparently the cast and crew gave her an ovation after the "freak out on the front lawn scene" - and reportedly Marty had folks who witnessed the actual freak out (either some of the responding cops, some Rosenthal neighbors or both IIRC) present and they endorsed it as a realistic portrayal. I mean, that's the news article that Pileggi sent to Marty to get him hooked on filming a story based on those folks.

Someone always says this when discussing this movie but I am perfectly capable of distinguishing between a character I can’t stand and some of the most laughable over acting I can think of.
