The Critical Drinker tells the sad tale of Kristen Stewart

I've said this before, but it bears mentioning again: I think Kristen Stewart is a talented actress when given the right material and pushed by the right director. Her performance in Spencer proved she was Oscar-caliber (if that means anything anymore). And when I first saw her, years ago, in a little 2007 movie called In the Land of Women, I thought she was charming. Stewart has potential. She gets a lot of shit for wooden performances lately, but I think she often defaults to quiet subtlety, which gets misread at woodenness. Anyway, the Drinker is right that Stewart went off the deep end. In recent times, she's said some amazingly stupid things that make me question her character. So it's only appropriate to chronicle her personal and career collapse since her enstupidation became apparent.
