Movie: The Dilemma (2011)
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Winona Ryder
Rating:4/10
This short but well-written GQ article about Winona Ryder made me want to watch more of her films, some for the very first time: Lucas; Beetlejuice; Mermaids; Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael; Night On Earth; and The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things.
My favorites from the feature:
- “To put it in merciless Hollywood-math terms, she’s too old to coquette and too young to cougar. That’s one reason she’s in an odd place at the moment. That’s the simple answer.”
- “Heathers flopped but invented a genre—you don’t get Buffy, Mean Girls, or Blair Waldorf without Ryder’s teen-angst body count.”
- “Reality Bites, directed by Ben Stiller, 1994…Around the fifty-nine-minute mark, in the diner scene, Winona totally invents that face Kristen Stewart makes at every awards show.”
- “That’s from the screenplay for 1988’s Beetlejuice…she got that part, despite mistaking Tim Burton for a prop guy at her audition. So began a streak where—even though she never became a huge box-office draw—every project she touched had a pop life.”
- “She had to drop out of The Godfather Part III at the last minute; Sofia Coppola stepped in. But by then it was the turn of the ’90s, Nirvana was tuning up somewhere out in Washington, and quirkyindiewhateverism was about to have a moment in the spotlight, a moment for which Winona—luminous and vulnerable and well-read and skeptical in fundamental ways about all this attention—is sort of the perfect movie star.”
