in that deep voice XD

Totally said it out loud in deep voice. You win :)

I understood that reference.

@@number1connieconversefan ok. Cause I would say, give me a break. Seen her carry a whole movie. Let alone some of the many great movies she’s been in and been a huge impact on.

Exactly. She was a star before, but this is legend making superstar stuff.

You can tell how much she disliked holmes.

Role*

@@theobserver8881 excuse me 🙃😅

Yep! Agree! She's fantastic

Other than the blonde hair and huge blue eyes I didn’t think she really looked all that much like Elizabeth Holmes. Elizabeth Holmes seemed much taller than Amanda S. I was skeptical Amanda could pull it off. Amanda exceeded my expectations. Despite the height difference, Amanda was really convincing. She picked up the intense crazy mannerism so well, to an extent where I can’t see Jennifer Lawrence pulling it off in the movie.

Amanda had few dramatic roles before in indie films

She’s always been doing dramatic roles, just in indie films. She says it’s because Hollywood kept pigeonholing her in young ingénue or romantic lead roles. She wasn’t getting the roles she thought really showed her chops so she always did a lot of indies

lol she started for her looks. she's average actress mostly about her appearance. give her small eyes and she'd have no role offers.

@@u235u235u235 lmao i never thought she was pretty growing up. Didn’t watch most of her mainstream movies but she always delivered in character roles in the micro-budget/indie films I’ve seen from her. She is easily the most talented actress among her peers (Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Kristen Stewart, Lindsay Lohan, etc were her peers) She was Oscar-nominated for Mank a year ago and she was easily the best actress there.

@@benjjjjsin come on, really? she was beautiful day one with the huge doe-eyes. search her name and add young and tell me what you see. to be fair it's not always easy to look good with big eyes. you'll notice lots of people with very big eyes fall into the bug-eyed camp, which of course is unattractive. so to have big eyes set well into your skull without being bug eyes is not common. 1/2 the girls I know with really large eyes are cursed with bug eyes. lot of them think they have big beautiful eyes when they're young but they haven't figured out the bug eyes don't qualify as beautiful, they just make your face stand, and more expressive, out in a non-beautiful way.

The dancing too

Even “that” voice.

she most definitely will be getting nominations for sure

I wish they would make a second season in the aftermath of court cases for both Sunny and Liz and the fate of the board members who invested in this company. Greed makes you do stupid things.

Yes totally love her

Dude 😅😅

She didn’t go from Karen in Mean Girls to Elizabeth Holmes in The Drop Out. Amanda had about a dozen other films in between.

if only her breasts could have predicted elizabeth's downfall

She was 19 in Mean girls (compare to Rachel McAdams, who was 26) and she did just great! Karen was the best character, much better then others. And between Mean girls and Dropout she had many strong roles, she is Oscar ans Golden Globe nominated. Very talented and successful for her age.

Have you ever watched her in CHLOE? she was so amazing

I thought the voice change was ridiculous when amanda did it till I checked out the real elizabeth holms vids... She Nailed it!

100 percent

she is a sociopath and mimics human emotion it is very difficult to play a true sociopath

I think Elizabeth Holmes may be the only person who is MORE entertaining to watch than the paid Hollywood actor. She is just so fascinating. I just can not understand how people were so taken with her 😂

Because they wanted to make money off of her, so they were willing to listen to whatever bs she was spinning.

Idk I think a lot was sunny because she comes off to me as a therapist who was with someone with Comorbid antisocial and narcissism for 7 years and have a daughter with autism, as someone with high functioning autism who was raised with a father who worked for Enron which was the first part of her development not knowing what was right and wrong in biz during prime mental development, so she saw this as Normal then meets and older biz man at 18 which increased that and even the show showcases his control with what she ate, how she dressed, even whispering in ear during interviews. She needs to take responsibility. It’s unfortunate that she had all of this around her grooming how she saw the world. She had the drive that high functioning autistic people can have if they do have that specific area of interest, I have seen clients and my young daughter think that they can just do something not understanding every step or social cues and correct displays of emotion, under stress either shut down or act out. She even has the stare that ppl some with high functioning autism can have which my own daughter has which became part of why they diagnosed her was that intense dead stare. She seemed to also showcase shared psychosis or as some refer to it as shared delusion with sunny. They both are at fault but it makes one wonder if she had different parents and different first long term boyfriend as well as not been raped on top of it all, what she would’ve been like. But now she must face what she did regardless if it is antisocial, autism or narcissism or duel diagnosis. I’m not her therapist I am only going off what I’ve seen from her, my education and practice as well as lived exeperinces. Sunny is a whole other study of the psyche that people don’t talk enough about. This was a man much much older than her and she was under 25 when they met where she was still very vulnerable to grooming. And going back to her father even if she does have a personality disorder, her view on business is distorted by having a father who was involved in a corporation who did much worse long term than her’s did. It’s just an interesting case psychologically. Because maybe she did have high functioning autism but also had a personality disorder, which is completely possible. I think she really thought that business you could skip certain things until it was ready, she didn’t finish school like she should have or work somewhere else to get some insight outside of family and sunny. The creation of who Elizabeth holmes is is very intriguing.

She's not underrated at all. She's just not a good actress, but she is incredibly annoying

@@bloomingaccents she's an oscar nominee lol better shut your mouth little girl

@@bloomingaccents huh? She’s consistently known for her good performances from mainstream fluffs to indie dramas. Didn’t she get an Oscar nomination last year too? Lol

He uses his natural accent in Bride and Prejudice if you want to hear more.

If you’ve seen ‘Inventing Anna’ on Netflix, then you’ll see the same pattern. Probably the same with ‘Tinder Swindler’ from Netflix too!!!!

@@crys4rmsd619 Right-- well, they're all antiheroes. They're doing wrong but you still root for them because they're underdogs. With Holmes, though, there was a real risk of misdiagnosing massive numbers of people. That goes way beyond grift. Lives were at stake. So no: maybe smart, but not cool.

It's just the art and drama needed to make viewers watch the show.

How does she seem cool? The show makes her look painfully awkward, which she was lol

when everyone was doubting her in the beginning I was rooting for her, then I remembered she is the villain in all of this lol

he was amazing in sense8 :)

Syaid!!!

Bill Hader suffers from it something shocking, and he's fantastic beyond words. Also really? I didn't find Amanda awkward here at all. She just seems comfortable and relaxed being herself.

Idk what was awkward about it lol

I don't think she's being awkward here

I noticed the awkwardness too, Stephen. She felt kind of disconnected in the interview. Maybe it was that, anxiety. She was really great acting the part though.

It struck me more as just that she's not a deep thinker nor particularly articulate. Reminds me of interviews I've seen with Bill Murray.

an oscar for a show?

@@aathenaiz6151 both

I think you meant Emmy or Golden Globe, maybe? Since the former is specifically for shows and the latter has categories for shows while the Oscars are exclusively for film and film related categories. But agreed - I think she deserves the Emmy for this role!!

At least she was nominated though she definitely deserved the win. Makes me sad that Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence got ones before her when Amanda is more talented by far

What will it be playing on?

Agree. Glad they chose her to play Holmes. She would be perfect.

@@aubrey7753 Hulu first 3 episodes dropped

@@tmic4043 I loved it. There's only 4 episodes though. Waiting patiently for the rest.

I agree

Yeah, she's got some innocence coming across, but I definitely sense the manipulation/narcissistic elements too? Personally I think her performance is phenomenal 👌; I also think the real EH was likely in many states of denial/delusion?

Y’all have to remember we’re seeing the whole thing from Elizabeth Holmes perspective , she seems herself as charming, innocent and so did the world. That’s the whole point and the whole reason she fooled so many people. The show definitely went over YOUR head if you disagree

@@yalilgomez6634 Oh, I see. I'm not entitled to my own opinion or it's "over my head" ie I'm dumb. Thanks, got it.

right

I think Ashley Tisdale would've been a good candidate.

@@MrDJCue yeah her face shape matches. I guess they prioritised the eyes more when choosing the actress

Kate McKinnon would've been great but happy with Amanda too.

I think Amanda probably just wanted to accurately tell the story and have people experience what that whole debacle was like. I dunno, but maybe she felt it better not to tell them a lesson from it

I think she was nervous. She seemed kind of disconnected in the interview. Her acting in the show was fantastic though.

Hulu sometimes has deals or you can do a bundle with another service. Def recommend checking out this series, it’s binge worthy.

Have you seen Ozark? That’s why Julia Garner was cast in Inventing Anna.

What?! The actress who played Anna is beautiful.

Disagree.
