That was truly a love letter of old school acting. Very expressive, very theatrical.

[@PalmurcioWorld]

That was simply...amazing. God she's seriously underrated.

[@xandilly]

She's my 3rd cousin , we're incredibly proud of her as a family , she's made great progress.

[@Spiritualeyesight]

Straight out of a 1920's silent film, She was wonderful!!!!

[@catcrazy5564]

You're all right. This was amazing. I felt like I was going through every emotion with her. Big diff between the younger and older actors. I wonder if it's because the younger ones don't rely as heavily on emotional moments like this, seems they're more physical. JLaw should have showed more range in hers. Looked like disbelief and fear. Acting is in the eyes, brows and body. Captivate us. Pull us into your soul and you'll have a winning part every time.

[@arcoirizdzonrrizas]

She´s a real actress

[@JorgeAvila-rz6yv]

And now she is in The Crown. Great actress

[@wtfnoavailability]

this is so touching

[@m5585dr]

I do believe this was the object of the exercise? So she nailed it. But again it is Lesley Manville, so she would.

[@acciodalek]

truly the best of the lot.

[@blackbuddhafly]

That was amazing.

[@bianchandre]

Awesome!

[@Evangeline30575]

Sort of reminds me of Bette Davis

[@shakespeareancupcake]

Best.

[@TamaraWoods]

Certainly would not have the same effect with a cell phone. I miss those huge old phones. So dramatic.

[@Ninonski]

@violethill Could be her, she reminded me of miss lonelyheart too.

[@violethill]

It's Miss Lonelyhearts from "Rear Window". . .
. . .isn't it?

[@celinalehmann1058]

Wow, I could watch her forever.. Also, just play the Jennifer Lawrence one right after this guys.. no comparison what so ever.

[@mistressmozart]

@mstarr gee i would never have thought of that

[@Whitzardable]

my reaction when i call the hotline

[@mistressmozart]

this would be SO much better without the music!

[@allisonxnosilla]

what are they talking about???!

[@sudsonee]

Leslie could so play Bette Davis in a re-make of whatever happened to BabyJane?

[@navblue20]

That scene fits more to All About Eve IMHO. The aging actress trying to get back into the game and finding out she can't.

[@OFBI7]

CHEVERE.

[@szyylucy]

she is good. but still tilda swinton's eyes r sayin more things N Douglas'S fingery movement r better than such a dynamic performance.

[@opochtli3011]

me involucre

[@mistressmozart]

@kate28 eh to each their own. It just feels out of place to me

[@artrais]

Niños jugando a actuar.

[@TegusTitan]

Don't try this at home... you need a big phone.

[@TheSpontaneousness]

SELAVIE

[@DesignCronico]

I don't think that was good at all...i find it quite dull and easy acting.

[@popsita]

overacting
