Let The Eat Cake: Kristen Stewart’s More Than Simple Dessert Role

Here’s what Larry Carrol of MTV had to say about Kristen Stewart’s performance in The Cake Eaters:

“1. Nobody eats cake in it.

2. The word “cake” is never actually uttered.

3. It might just be the best performance of “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart’s young career.”

Now here’s what Collider says. They routinely provide some of the best interviews and don’t get enough recognition. They ask decent questions that get indepth answers like this from Kristen Stewart:

“Like Aaron said. The one thing that the movie has is an unabashedly outward sense of hope. It’s a very positive movie which is commendable considering it’s about a girl who is gonna die before she reaches the age of normal consensual sex. So, that’s a feat in itself. Hopefully [audiences] can take from it real characters that actually affected them and put their faith in characters for a good hour and a half. That says something.”

Media Blvd also weighs in with their interview here.

I was so intimated by the character that I didn’t start any physicality before, literally, the first day of shooting. I just couldn’t stop thinking about it…I couldn’t physically do it until the day we started shooting because it felt like I was faking something. Until it was actually real, in the moment, and we were actually doing it and I was actually playing this person, then it felt right to do it. But, before that, it just didn’t feel right.”
