As long as she keeps working, I’ll keep wanting to write about her. For my latest column over at Film Comment.

I so enjoyed this rapturous evaluation of Kristin Stewart’s film career, which I obviously share. She is one of the few actors I would go to a movie to see, whatever the subject. Your writing is breathless; it beautifully conveys your passion and it made me happy to read. I look forward to reading your work in the future. Thanks again. Joel
Sorry it took me so long to get back to responding to comments – I hate it when that happens.
Joel – many thanks for reading and for commenting! I’m so glad you enjoyed. She’s a difficult subject (I find – which is part of the fun of writing about her), and it’s interesting to try to dig into what is going on with her. I’m a big fan.
Thanks again!!
