4 Reasons You Should Actually Like, Not Hate, Kristen Stewart

Usually when someone is described as “polarizing” it means that sensible people think they’re awful and foolish saps think they’re the greatest. Other times, it can be a matter of acquired taste, someone who seems weird and unlikeable at first and then over time, as you begin to understand what they’re about, becomes more interesting and cool. In other cases, people people’s impressions can be forever tinged by what their first exposure to someone is, and they refuse to change their minds, instead steadfastly clinging to their original conclusion because thinking differently is too much work.

I think it’s because she has such limited skills in expressing herself when talking to people—an issue plenty of us can relate to—that Kristen Stewart so earnestly wants to express herself by acting. This is common for people in artistic fields; they’ll sound completely incoherent when operating in the medium of conversation and interview, but when they’re in their chosen element, whatever medium that may be, they’re clearer than they could ever be trying to explain themselves. So Stewart seems like she needs acting to do this, in a way.

And she seems to have a real desire to get better, which I don’t know if I’ve ever heard her say outright, the way Bradley Cooper has, many, many times (which I respect), but is clear from the people she tries to work with. She’s also incredibly young. She has so much room to improve. She shouldn’t be expected to be operating at a Jessica Chastain level when she’s 13 years behind in age. And that’s the best actress in the world right there. I am certain that as she matures, and gets better parts (seriously, who the hell is her agent? They’re not as good as J-Law’s, whoever they are), we’ll see her get the chance to be more versatile and put her enormous talent for totally embodying a character down to the subtlest details to better and better use.
