Agree.

I don't understand why people think she is a bad actress, though. She was amazing in Mad Men, The Old Man & The Gun, Her Smell, Us, Girl Interrupted, and The Handmaiden's Tale. There are others but those are my favorite performances from her.

The roles she gets are for unattractive women (that was kinda the point in mad men)

So I wouldn't say she is OVERRATED as being "attractive". She specifically getting those key acting roles precisely for the opposite reason.

why she was cast as the lead in the Invisible Man baffles me. Why would that invisible dude be obsessed with her?

Because he really wants to make her invisible too

Yeah- that was the hardest to get for me as well. Here's a billionaire with model looks, but he's going to obsess over THAT wildebeest?

Yeah I remember when Amy Schumer was cast to play Barbie I immediately said “That’s like casting Michael Cera as Ivan Drago.”

That's the chick from Invisible Man, right? I honestly think that's the only thing I've ever seen her in (at least that I can remember).

I liked her in Top Of The Lake.


A very good series that I will never watch again.

Basically the anti-Movie/TV board trifecta:

1. Jane Campion's house of sexual horrors
2. Elizabeth Moss gets naked
3. "hurr durr white men bad"

Yes. Sarah Jessica Parker. Grace Jones. Kathy Griffin. And so on.

overrated actress


She's not overrated as an actress. She's a good actress. She was great in Mad Men (the episode Suitcase she was really fantastic as was Jon Hamm).

And just off the top of my head Kristen Stewart is far, far more overrated.

Stewart tries, bless her heart, but she's not very good. She's not quite porn actress level bad, but she's not much better.

She’s so ugly. It makes me sick they tried to act like she was attractive in Mad Men. Actually made no sense considering they nailed every other role in that series.

I would say she is not overrated at all. I have no idea who she is. Looking at IMDB and the only movie I have watched she has a role in is Get Him to the Greek and I still don't know what role she played.

I never watched Mad Men.

They spend the entire first season calling her fat then she dates scrubs until the final episode.

She was never really an object of sex on the show.

I’d take MG over EM a million out of a million times. EM is a legit Hollywood actress who has been been cast in roles where characters find her attractive that you probably wouldn’t tell your friends you hooked up with in real life.

At least has/had a bangin body. I don’t think Moss ever has. Always been frumpy, suburban housewife.

Yeah, even if I don’t like to admit it, I think most of us would bang a Hocus Pocus SJP.

Didn’t she win an award?

I always thought her bad acting was from the Twilight movies, which she admitted despising the dialog and hating doing. Her and the male lead.

I think both of them hated those movies so much it carried over, but also made them rich so they kept doing them (or were locked in a contract, possibly)
