    No range?

    Bull.

    Keaton didn't even play the same role in Woody Allen's films. Let alone the parts she played in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Shoot the Moon, Reds, The Little Drummer Girl, Mrs. Soffel, The Good Mother, Something's Gotta Give, The Family Stone.

    This is the contemporary actress who best embodies what Method acting means, not becoming the character but using your instrument to bring life to an extraordinary range of characters.

    Good Christ! That we still have to make the case for Keaton while Meryl's Accent Showcase is still acclaimed as great acting.
