There are VERY few 10-12 year old girls who can do bloodthirsty predator well. I remember Millie Bobby Brown in her first TV show, Intruders, almost pulling it off, but ultimately ... disappointing.deadman wrote:But given the demands of this role you'd want a kid who could go from bubbly preteen to bloodthirsty predator and be convincing, you'd need to show her self-loathing, agonizing over the things she's done but unable to just end her own life.
Only Dafne Keen was convincingly fierce and aggressive, IMHO, in "Logan (2017)". And kind of OT-ish.
Maybe it's that latino thing? If it is that, let's hope this works for that girl as well.
