[quote=Anonymous]I agree she got by primarily on charisma and instinct early in her career. I actually liked Silver Linings Playbook, I know it annoyed a lot of people but I enjoyed that movie and liked her dynamic with Bradley Cooper. But yeah, she's not like a method actor. She has a seat-of-her-pants quality. But I think when a director knows how to handle it, it works well.

She was good in No Hard Feelings, I think the reason it wasn't a bigger hit is that the movie itself felt a little stale.

I don't think she's over at all though. She hasn't done as much stuff recently because she was having kids. She made NHF between her first and second baby. She just came out with a somewhat artsy drama (Die, My Love) costarring Robert Pattinson. The reviews of the movie have been mixed, but her performance has been praised. She plays a woman going through postpartum depression. It's directed by Lynn Ramsey who is a really well respected indie director (We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here).

JLaw and Pattinson have done a lot of press for it on the film festival circuit and have actually been really charming together. I would not be surprised if she eeked out a couple nominations for her role (not Oscars, but like Golden Globes or some of the other lesser prizes). She won't win anything, but I think people like her work in the movie and like that she's taking on interesting work. I think she's still viewed as a highly bankable star but is entering a time in her career that is tricky for women because there are not enough roles for this age range. So it will be interesting to see what she chooses. [/quote]
