ive never much liked Halle Berry's acting, but I thought she was fantastic in Monster's Ball

particularly towards the end, when she finds out and is taking it all in. the emotional transition and subsequent breakdown as she takes it all wrapped up a surprising performance from someone who hadn't shown chops like that before.

and I didn't love the movie as a whole, but it had its moments.

    - I though she was good but not great. Of the five, I would have given it to Dench (although I couldn't get through all of Iris). -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 11:51
And she has range, too. I mean, from that to Swordfish ......................... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:44 2
