One more actor/actress I will have to boycott, I guess.

She's very smart, there's a lot to take note of in her. But I shoulda known.

I did not appreciate at all the movie Imagining Argentina - in which she played a sentimentally fierce journalist who became a desaparecida. (btw, the Holocaust is sentimentalized terribly in that movie.)

Her latest character - in that movie with Will Ferrell, Dustin Hoffmann, and Maggie Gylleaebfdbfbdhall - was a complete caricature.
