Joey98, she is not the most controversial and the most polarized. I just feel this foolish Hathaway hate is just coming from these anonymous cowards using the internet and these very disturbing Jennifer Lawrence fans that are constantly pitting her against Lawrence .

Good point. I never thought about the Cassavetes influence , both films share strong intimacy .

Dewitt is very underrated.

I completely agree, and Anne Hathaway brought so much rich subtlety to that Brokeback Mountain telephone scene. A little Brokeback Mountain trivia, Anne auditioned for the Heath Ledger's wife role and Jake Gyllenhaal's wife role . Because she gave two great audition performances , Ang Lee and the film…

I feel most of Hathaway's backlash is based on jealous females that don't care for females that are multi-talented ( she is a triple threat talent and a acclaimed stage/film/television actress ) .

I do see the Altman influence , and Debra Winger had a great comeback role with that performance. Winger should have had a better film career.

Kinopio, please stop contributing to this ridiculous Anne Hathaway hate . I swear women are always ripped apart- and mostly for the most ridiculous reasons.
