The Rachel McAdams Picture Show keeps on truckin' with Kelly Fremon Craig's ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET.
Following MEAN GIRLS up with this is my way of showing you the range of one Rachel McAdams: cutting someone down to size with a glance in one movie, masking insecurity as perfectionism for the benefit of her family in another.
McAdams has such a power of restraint with her body language that she can tell you everything she's feeling without it feeling performative, like she's trying to bait a reaction out of her costars, but rather that she's absolutely living in the moment. Playing someone whose personality is one geared for support at the detriment of her own fulfillment, this skill is best utilized in the role of Margaret's mom, Barbara.
McAdams got so much critical love and dark horse Supporting Actress attention for this role and honestly? Should've gotten the nomination.
