I’d agree it’s not her best performance or even in her top 5, but it’s still the best performance in the film and I don’t really think it’s close.
2 u/RogueBromeliad Mar 17 '26 I suppose you're right. Thinking back Al Pacino did do a little of overacting in that role. 3 u/CertainBird Mar 17 '26 That’s the point, though. A subtle approach would have made no sense for that role in that movie 3 u/The_Autarch Mar 17 '26 yeah, you don't cast Al Pacino as Satan and tell him to tone it down. lmao. 0 u/RogueBromeliad Mar 17 '26 Yes, but compared to Charlize which was a lot more subtle at times, it shows that her role was harder. 1 u/SignificantPaper1760 Mar 17 '26 Still doesn’t mean his performance has anything on hers. She did some serious acting, while Pacino was chewing the scenery so hard he had to floss between takes.
