Saw it last night. She's f****in' fabulous! Really incredible work - brave, committed, and spot on in tone and intention. NW's ability to walk the line between her intellectual understanding of a character and the visceral manifestations of that character is nothing less than amazing. She is at once exquisitely subtle and gut wrenchingly spectacular. Its as if you can see her thoughts in one moment and then she rips her chest open and lets her guts spill to the floor. Yet it is never self indulgent.

OK - y'all warned me about the hammer, but I had forgotten and it shocked me to no end! But what I loved more is the moment Linda snaps when she goes to help the hooker.
