What do you make of Jennifer Lawrence and do you think she's still relevant?

She was overexposed and annoying in the past and seems to be same now.

Oh no, did a young woman talk about eating pizza, and then after she had children and her body changed, she’s talking about getting some work done? What a horrible, annoying beast. So unrelatable, to have your body change from being in your teens and 20s to being a mom in your 30s!

+1. Also why tf is OP sitting around thinking about whether Jennifer Lawrence is allowed to exist

OP - that’s not what I said at all, jfc, and I should’ve known better because these threads always draw out both extreme misogynists AND psychotic defenders who treat any discussion of her career as sexist and can’t stand that someone might have mixed feelings about a performer.

I like her work, and very much think she should be allowed to exist. I literally pointed out which of her movies I like and how I think some of them should have been bigger. I was just wondering if she’s declining in relevancy, even though some of her peers have hits that have managed to strike a chord with the public (like Emma Stone’s filmography.)

I know it’s very hard for you to understand nuance, so I’ll leave this post on a positive note, lest you continue putting words in my mouth.

It’s disappointing some of her movies haven’t been bigger hits, but I do think she’s building up a body of work she should be proud of. Die My Love didn’t do well at the box office, but people are singling out her performance as excellent

I like how you gloss right on over the point we were making *directed at the PP* who had the audacity to imply she was a hypocrite for saying she eats pizza in her 20s but dares to consider getting her breasts fixed post-baby.

She also had her woo-woo and naked boobs all over the internet when the photos she sent to Nicholas Hoult were hacked / leaked.

And then there are the stories about Harvey Weinstein.

Her personal photos to her boyfriend were hacked and put on the internet and you count that as a point against her?

That she ever took and sent such photos is the point against her. Catch up.

Be sure to tell your daughters and granddaughters that them being violated would be a “point against them.”

I feel like because she was really oversaturated for a while, then took a break from both acting and promotion to have a kid, now reappearing after not hearing from her for a minute makes it seem like she's trying for a "comeback" in a way that an actor who hadn't been so overexposed to begin with wouldn't have to deal with. If she hadn't been EVERYWHERE before her maternity leave her absence and reappearance wouldn't seem so noteworthy.

I find her persona a bit cloying - a really aggressive form of "cool girl who doesn't care what you think" that seems simultaneously naive and forced. But she is a decent actress and still has star appeal, and she seems to be picking the right kind of projects (instead of hanging on to the ingenue roles too long).

Not sure how I feel about her as an actress, not very appealing to me. I just couldn’t get over the fact that she dropped out of middle school! And I don’t consider myself an education snob at all.

She’s probably learned a lot, traveling the world and working with top-tier producers, directors, actors, dialect coaches, cinematographers, publicists, stylists and entertainment lawyers…

Multiple Oscar and Golden Globe nods and an Oscar win and three Golden Globe wins gives you no room to call her a “decent” actress. The woman has a best actress BAFTA. Just stop.

Sidney Sweeney is a more talented performer, all the noise about politics, boobs etc aside. I've seen films she is in where her performances have been much better than those of JL

This is a joke, right?

Imagine how dumb you sound, OP.

I think it's the same poster who asked if Glen Powell would ever become a movie star, when I can't turn on the TV without see a new movie of his. It's clearly to put them down and make her feel better about her own irrelevance.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous, it sounds awful. Enjoy being nobody with the rest of us, at least we can get a cup of coffee without hiring security.

I think she benefitted from Harvey Weinstein and then when he fell out of power her career faltered. Similar to Alicia Vikander. But I think she’s talented and enjoyed her acting in Winters Bone.

I feel like there's an edge to her now that's very unpleasant, and it's not confidence, more like arrogance. The way she went on Bowen Yang's podcast and trashed Lisa Barlow's threads as she herself has done a lot to her face is just off-putting (and yes, in her words, I should be off-pudding...I loved her in that Between Two Ferns era!)

Sure. Whatever floats your boat.

Great actress.

I like her off the cuffness, but in the latest interview I heard she seemed all over the place.

No. I'm 100% serious about that. Watch all her movies and come back.

WTF is wrong with you? She sent photos to a boyfriend. Is that you, Granny?

She is pals with Emma Stone and they are producing a movie together (she was talking about it on Jimmy Fallon or some such).
