...or The Art Girl Can't Help It. Ry Russo Young's rather irritating but not-necessarily-dismissable Nobody Walks, featuring Olivia Thirlby and Her Amazing Androgynous Haircut. Lucky for the director she got Lena Dunham for a co-writer when she did, probably couldn't afford her now. Reviewed for MSN Movies.
Also: the better than rather good, but not for all tastes, Seven Psychopaths.
Adored her in JUNO and SOLITARY MAN, probably the first films I noticed her in. Glad she's moving up in the world.

Thought for a second that was the titular Kevin from Lynne Ramsay's last movie.

I have a feeling they'll work together again/money won't be an issue. Same high school.

I loved Seven Psychopaths jus for the fact that Rockwell's character seems to be a fan of Bob Burn's Flaming Carrot character.

LOOK AT HER! CUTE! CUTE!
Thirbly is also hot as balls in DREDD 3D. This haircut doesn't work on her. Also these movies where a SEXUAL DERVISH moves into some staid suburban tweediverse and unleashes everyone's pent-up whatever.... Wouldn't everyone just murder each other and kill themselves out of shame and guilt and sin afterward?
Very few movies outside of Spike and Schrader and Ferrara really express that SEX-MUST-BE-PUNISHMENT burn-in-hell forever judgment that ought to accompany sex in film. Movies make it look like people are CASUAL about getting laid or cheating, which is like a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence and the split second it's over you think of your CARRIE WHITE'S MOM family and everyone should be punishes for their sins.
