The reviews are in, and while Katie Holmes may have kinda sucked it in the opening performance of her show All My Sons, she sure as hell looked fierce when she left the theater! Let’s take a look at what the critics had to say about Mrs. Cruise’s work:
- Entertainment Weekly: “After a painfully awkward first scene, she relaxes a bit; she’s at her best opposite Wilson, who’s terrifically cast as Sons‘ moral compass.”
- The New York Times: “Ms. Holmes delivers most of her lines with meaningful asperity, italicizing every word.”
- USA Today: At best, she exhibits a girlish exuberance that could serve her well in certain stage roles, provided she finds a director who can ease her obvious self-consciousness and get her to focus on the often-intricate process of character development…Her initial poise begins to seem strained and her relentlessly energetic line readings strangely flat — even when she screams them out, as she does quite jarringly at one point.”
So basically, she’s bringin’ a Dawson’s Creek caliber performance to Broadway. That pretty much sums up the state of art in America today – but let’s look at some sexy pics and forget all about that serious stuff instead. After the performance, Katie sizzled in a white pants suit Aladdin-esque jumper-thing. If your play sucks, distract ‘em with fashion!
