    The difference between Amanda's performance and Elizabeth's is that Amanda is playing a character who the audience knows is a psychopath, but is trying to put on a performance of a kind and trust-worthy person, while Elizabeth is actually playing a kind and trust-worthy character, who the audience doesn't know is actually a psychopath.

      YES thank you. Its a dive inside her mind, (although irl if her being a sociopath is true, there isn't nearly as much emotional conflict in her as they showed in the series). if she just did what we all saw then it wouldn't be any different than just watching holmes' life unravel irl

    I think Amanda made a few necessary changes to make it more 'cinematic'. The longer pauses and extra shaking is for the tension. Movies are always a bit exaggerated, and they need to be. Otherwise, it might as well be a documentary.
    I'm sure Amanda was instructed to be a bit more dramatic, and she did a phenomenal job.

      I just finished the show with Amanda Seyfried. And I feel like in a few ways the TV show was actually LESS dramatic than real life!?! I notice that Elizabeth's real hair in interviews is more disheveled looking than Amanda's, also I feel like Amanda didn't lower her voice to the same unnatural deepness that Elizabeth did. It's a strange situation of life being weirder than fiction.

    The difference between Holmes and Seyfried's portrayal is by the time The Dropout aired we were all in on the "gag" as it were. Playing Holmes strictly as herself would have actually made for a dull series, Amanda injected enough knowing into her portrayal to keep it grounded in reality but with that knowing wink to the audience that says "we all know how this ends, right?" Seyfried was just phenomenal in this role. I actually felt a little sorry for Holmes.

    Amanda Seyfried nods and shakes her head too much. Holmes is very steady compared to Seyfried.

Seyfried hesitated way too long compared to Holmes when Holmes replied she didn't have very many secrets. When I look at Seyfried's performance she comes across unsure of what to say next. When I look at Holmes, she comes across as Dustin Hoffman Rain Man.

      Amanda Seyfried isn't actually a nerd con artist with psychopathy. So, generally, Seyfried's face is more expressive and alive.

      It's funny you mentioned Rain Man, as I have a theory that Elizabeth has high functioning autism (formerly aspergers). It came across in the Charlie Rose interview the most...the way Elizabeth looks down like that and talks in such a deliberate way. That's not her searching for answers/lies like Amanda's portraying...that's her actually trying to recall what she wants to say and kind of force the words to come out. She has to look down because eye contact will ruin this whole process...classic autism symptom, among other signs I've noticed.

    I like her performance. I don't want just a carbon copy of Holmes, I wanted to see a portrayal of her behavior plus having an insight what she's probably thinking in those moments. Amanda did that with the nods, long pauses and even her eyes.

    As a 26 year old entrepreneur, i was looking for inspiring business movies or series to watch. It is now 3 AM, i could not stop binging The Dropout series. I stumbled onto this without diving too deep in the trailers. During episode 1,2 and 3 i was rooting for Elizabeth because the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to overcome obstacles. About 4 episodes in i started hating this woman with every fiber in me. By the time she changed her voice to be more "deep" i was about to pull my hair out. Can you imagine the bone chilling shock i got at the end of episode 8 when they started listing the real-life case updates, it was literally just then that i realized this was a real life event. I am young and not from the US, so i never heard of Theranos or the real Elizabeth. This is insane on a level unimaginable. Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to all Women, Humanity and the entire Entrepreneur Society. The fact that even after all this, you can remain cool about your crimes proves you are a psychopathic monster with alien eyes, a demons hart and an insufferable pretentious voice. I hope justice prevails in honor of all lives lost, families ruined financially or in health. F YOU!

    I'm only able to base my opinion on the small amount of comparison shown, however, it appears that neither a body language expert nor a linguist were on set. Elizabeth used a very exaggerated and poorly executed deep voice when she spoke as well as unnatural, fabricated facial expressions. Such as extended durations without blinking and limited facial movement. These were all a part of her manipulation and attempt to control her environment. Although these idiosyncrasies often naturally occur in people with antisocial personality disorders, like her idol Steve Jobs, hers were rehearsed. I wish Amanda would have done a better job of focusing on these mannerisms. It would have made her portrayal much more believable.
