With her thousand-mile frown, Mia Wasikowska was born to play Victorian heroines, though she's a little too intelligent and self-aware for Flaubert's Emma Bovary. June 18, 2015 | Full Review…

It's a worthy effort, but the existential fiction of Barthes's debut, Cold Souls, in which the human essence could be bottled and sold, represented a better fit for her talents August 21, 2017 | Full Review…
