Anna Paquin

Both of the assessments the archive holds for Anna Paquin measure an escape from a cliche. Nina Caplan writes that in A Walk on the Moon it is her sensitive performance that kept the affected, graceless girl from degenerating into a caricature of an adolescent. Kim Newman says that in a comic-book adaptation her hesitant but longing Rogue makes sense of a character who had stayed flat on the page for years, and that this is far more meaningful than the trampy ex-villain the comics rarely handled well.
