  • 00:00

    Did you know that Kristen Stewart has quietly become one of the best actresses working today?

  • 00:10

    Stewart has been acting in movies since the early 2000s, but we all know she became best

  • 00:14

    known for the 'Twilight' series starting in 2008.

  • 00:17

    So here’s the thing…the 'Twilight' films…well, let’s just say that they won’t be compared

  • 00:23

    to 'Citizen Kane' anytime soon.

  • 00:26

    When the public deemed Stewart “the girl from 'Twilight,” her name became synonymous

  • 00:31

    with the film series.

  • 00:32

    When something like this happens, people tend to confuse their opinion on the films with

  • 00:37

    their opinion on the actors.

  • 00:39

    I remember commonly hearing from friends and people on the internet that Stewart was a

  • 00:43

    “bad actress.”

  • 00:45

    Well, she’s not.

  • 00:46

    Like not at all.

  • 00:47

    She's actually really good.

  • 01:03

    While she surely doesn’t give a career-best performance in any of the 'Twilight' films,

  • 01:07

    a lot of the issues lie in the fact that her naturalistic approach to acting isn’t really

  • 01:12

    suited for dreamy fantasy, let alone the artificial sounding dialogue.

  • 01:18

    Watch these two clips back-to-back.

  • 01:20

    Which one has the better acting?

  • 01:51

    The second one, right?

  • 01:52

    And why is that?

  • 01:53

    It’s really just context.

  • 01:55

    The scene from 'Twilight' has dialogue that may deliver an unintentional laugh or two,

  • 02:00

    it has the overly dramatic score, and these completely unnecessary camera moves that take

  • 02:05

    us out of the moment, and most importantly, they call attention to the acting.

  • 02:09

    Even the best of the best aren’t going to nail it every time with lackluster filmmaking.

  • 02:13

    And it’s not like Stewart just all the sudden became a great actress after the 'Twilight'

  • 02:18

    films, which seems to be the common consensus.

  • 02:20

    She was turning in great performances both before and during her time with the 'Twilight'

  • 02:24

    series, but the vampire saga overshadowed her great work.

  • 02:28

    Stewart was able to pull off something that is almost impossible in Hollywood.

  • 02:32

    She separated herself from a popular franchise and took her career in a much more serious

  • 02:36

    and suitable direction.

  • 02:38

    She has since gravitated towards smaller, more artful films where she was able to show

  • 02:42

    the world what she can really do.

  • 02:44

    In fact, her recent and criminally underrated work in 'Personal Shopper' is perhaps my favorite

  • 02:49

    of her performances.

  • 02:58

    Films like this allow Stewart to play up to her strengths as an actress and deliver something

  • 03:02

    that is truly memorable and haunting.

  • 03:04

    Kristen Stewart is not “the girl from 'Twilight.”

  • 03:08

    She is one of the best actresses working today.
