But, what’s even more impressive is that she gives herself completely to her character. ANDShe’s able to act out genuine fear as she and Foster lock themselves up to escape invaders. And she can also hold her own in some more emotionally complicated scenes.Like when Sarah, her diabetic character, says she doesn’t need her medication because she wants to keep her mother safe.

In Ghosts of the past, her second collaboration with Assayas, Stewart plays Maureen, a woman who recently lost her twin brother and is trying to deal with it. The film is remarkably connected to a supernatural premise to the extent that Maureen begins receiving text messages from a mysterious source. Nonetheless, the tale feels firmly set in the real world due to Stewart’s understated yet magnetic performance. Beyond her metaphysical search, the actress manages to modify her appearance in the scenes in which she tries on the clothes and shoes she is going to buy. These scenes are a true master class in body language as an actress.

Focusing on a short period allows the film to delve into Diana’s headspace instead of rushing through events. As a result, it feels more like a psychological thriller than a standard biopic. And it’s all held together by the central performance of Stewart, who manages to completely transform into Diana with the simplest movements of her body, and it’s fantastic and completely believable.
