‘why don’t you like the spanish monarchy?” uuuuuuh colonialism, the inquisition, and they kept like……..marrying their nieces…….probably more but that’s the top of what comes to …… mind………

OK, so as far as this whole “Can Scarlett Johansson really act?” thing goes. I always found her incredibly good in this scene from Match Point.

I dunno. I think she got a bit lazy after this.  Or the scripts weren’t so great.

And, yes, I am well aware of who directed this. 

But it’s very well-acted. 

Nola knows she’s gorgeous. But she also feels worthless and swept aside and knows she’s never going to end up a trophy wife in this posh society. She’s seen as too trashy.
