The latter, in particular, which finds Stewart as an American in Paris who communicates with her deceased twin via phone, features Stewart’s best performance yet — in my view — while her American Ultra performance goes a long way towards bringing grounded humanity (and undervalued comedic chops) to the tonally unfocused movie.
While certainly not as weird as the other actors here or Robert Pattinson’s post-Twilight work, Stewart continues to prove herself.
Though unfairly dismissed solely for the Twilight franchise, Kristen Stewart has proven herself to be a tremendously versatile actress, notably with exceptional performances in Clouds of Sils Maria, On the Road, and Certain Women.
But in the midst of branching out from Zathura, Panic Room, and Catch That Kid, in addition to the aforementioned Twilight, Stewart has picked some intriguingly off-beat films, including the raunchy stoner action-comedy American Ultra and the soulful supernatural drama, Personal Shopper.
