Susan Sarandon
37 films
Andy Richards finds Susan Sarandon as effective as ever in Stepmom, then aims his unease at the conception of the character rather than at her playing: after the cancer diagnosis, he writes, she plays Jackie with the same hard-won grace that served her so well as Sister Helen Prejean in Dead Man Walking. Charlotte O'Sullivan, on another film, says her familiar tired eyes and toffee-ice-cream voice look too fragile for a body that has suddenly shrunk, and then draws a line of her own: Sarandon cannot turn lightness of this kind into drama.
