Alicia Vikander should have won all the awards for her acting in Ex Machina.

In a roundly outstanding cast, she’s beyond great. She even changes her voice significantly for the part. ¹ Compare and contrast her speech and mannerisms in this interview with her film performance.

That’s a terrible, inane interview, even worse than most celebrity interviews (mainly due to Conan’s dumb questions), but she talks a lot at least.

What a great film Ex Machina is, though.

(Incidentally, Alicia pronounces her name correctly here. I hear two phonemes not present in English, though no difficult ones.)
