Thinking of THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT reminds of something I remarked upon rewatching that film this past summer:
… it makes me reflect on what a genuinely terrible actor Mark Ruffalo is. He’s fortunate that the MCU stuff has enabled him to settle into being a movie star riding on having a genial personality, because he was a genuinely unconvincing character actor. He was in a bunch of stuff in the oughts — the dreadful movie adaptation of the thoroughly repulsive novel IN THE CUT, COLLATERAL with Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise, and KIDS [THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, not the 1995 Larry Clark film] being probably the most prominent — and not a single moment of any of it is remotely convincing. Like, his character in IN THE CUT is supposed to be a bigoted macho tough guy who wins over the feminist heroine with his he-man sexual magnetism (air sickness bags not included; the only consolation is that the book is worse); in COLLATERAL he’s supposed to be a hip, streetwise cop of the kind featured on shows like NYPD BLUE; and in KIDS, he’s supposed to be an earthy stud who’s catnip even to married lesbians.
At all times he comes across as a suburban white dude who went to acting school and did a lot of mediocre community theatre. He’s not an unpleasant screen persona, and I grant he’s attractive enough in the same kind of buttered-noodles way as Paul Rudd — an unthreatening fantasy object for straight white women who buy alkaline water — but he is a terrible actor and movies that expect me to accept him as a performer really wear on my patience.

IN THE CUT- 2003 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Meg Ryan plays a writer/teacher who starts a relationship with a homicide detective and finds herself in a serial killers crosshairs in this well filmed erotic thriller. Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Jason Leigh co star. I enjoyed it very much. Pretty horny? Like the dreamyness of it all. Quite chilling at certain points also. Good watch.
Directed by Jane Campion.
