Oh I wasn't that surprised, I'd read that she did a good job in the film. But honestly, I didn't recognize her here at all - took me a long time to figure out who that was, and then it wasn't until the credits rolled that I believed it. She is usually sharper in her roles, her she's more subtle.

Goes to show you - that 90% of acting really is the direction and the script. Sex in the City was meant to be a bit over-the-top, it's pure satire, like Glee. (Although I liked it a whole lot better than Glee, I won't bore you with why.)

The movie theater may make a difference, Ghost Writer was a very dark movie and difficult to hear - soundwise, I wanted close captioning.
