Mia Wasikowska...


What a heroine, what a talent, what a future. I was at a party some time ago, drunk, so it must have been some time ago where she was being honored for Australians in film. Sweet, beautiful girl. I'd seen her on In Treatment but not extensively and I remember thinking to myself something like can a girl with a name that difficult really conquer this town?

I just watched her in Burton's extravaganza "Alice" with Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter and monsters and magic and she's the one still ringing in my head. That's nothing short of a miracle. Absolutely enjoyable movie. 20 years old. I'll be redundant and say it anyway...genius.
