The Gush: Kristen Stewart

Remember when Kristen Stewart was labeled a "bad actress?" It seems pretty ridiculous now, being that Stewart has quietly become one of the best actresses working today. And honestly, Kristen Stewart has always been skilled at what she does. Like many Hollywood performers, Stewart caught a bad rap for her association with cookie-cutter young adult films. People often associate their disdain for a film with their disdain for the stars that act in them, and this seems to be the case with Stewart. Don't believe me? Take a look back at her career: She turned in a solid performance for David Fincher's Panic Room at the age of eleven. After Stewart finished her duties on the Twilight saga, she gravitated towards smaller, more artful films that better suited her naturalistic approach to acting. It's about time that we all start taking Kristen Stewart seriously as a talent. Enjoyed the celebration? Join us as we gush about more performers and filmmakers we love with odes to the late great Anton Yelchin and Heath Ledger. As well as our celebrations of Mario Bava, Jennifer Lawrence, Angela Bassett, Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, and Agnès Varda.
