I love her but she over acts.
She’s so over the top in some scenes , u start getting scared.
At this point you’re just stupid. No other explanation needed
And before you comment back, I’ll just list everything you always say to save you time:
1. Something regarding Normani
2. Camilla ?
3. Calling someone a rat
4. A long list of billboard chart non sense
5. Another topic that doesn’t justify your stupidity
I said what I said. Cry about it
Viola is a good actress but she over acts
She doesnt know how to do subtlety/nuance
She’s over the top and too dramatic
I watched fences and I laughed so hard.
Watching viola over act, snot running down her nose, yelling her lines etc.
She was good in doubt
She should have won the oscar for her 7 minutes performance.
It’s 2020. Please start spreading love. Valentine’s is a week away. Don’t save it all for Valentine’s Day.
I agree. Viola Davis is going to have to scale way back to pull of Michelle Obama.
Why isn’t Jackie Kennedy involved with this?
