Come on, Sofia grows on you. I've seen the film a few days ago, and she wasn't half bad. She wasn't really, you know, acting majestically or anything - she was natural. Nothing extreme. She wasn't really bad. Her acting job just wasn't Pacino or Garcia-esque...

Now, I will say that IF Winona Ryder had been in the film, it would've fared better - because Mary's vulnerability would've come off better than it did. Plus, Rider IS a better actress than Sofia Coppola, no matter what anyone says.
