Doctor Cotter: What are you so afraid of? Hmm?Door's already open. Can't close it now.All you can do is look away. But why would you?
I suppose to those of you who haven't seen Queer yet the above image of Lesley Manville might come as a shock, as it did to me when I saw the movie for the first time during NYFF last fall -- that is not the Lesley Manville we're used to seeing! But that's one reason to love it -- another being she is, as always, fantastic. (Her delivery of the moment quoted above gives us one of the most heart-rending moments in the film.) Anyway yes this makes two Queer posts in a row -- I just posted about how the 4K blu-ray of the film is being released in the UK in April -- but I only just noticed today is Manville's 69th birthday so we gotta wish her a happy one. Lesley Manville rules!

I wish it was a boygenius video, but that's just me.
I can't understand the Academy,they gave Demi some flowers but not Lesley for her truly transformative balls to the wall performance,a true supporting performance,not a lead masking as supporting,turns the film upside down is relevant to the story and leaves you wanting more,not one bunch from any critics group,this is Mrs Harris and Cyril and you don't see either..
I saw LM in an episode of Silent Witness from the early aughts. She changed the show's DNA with every scene she was in, her acting was levels above everyone else. Fucking amazing.
