Yes,and actually her words were pretty clear:
And,really,what did she say in the (in)famous "Thinking Man's Blake Lively interview" ? What I saw was an irritating journalist, irritated by the whole "MoMA interview" and by a person who didn't want to speak about her personal life.
I doubt that more than 4.5 million people were so much interested in her interview in the NYT style section to remember her as the Thinking Man's Blake Lively...
People are praising her performance in Ex Machina,she has a BIFTA nomination for TOY,she's going to have a movie in competition at the Venice Film Festival because she's
known as the "Thinking Man's Blake Lively,Fassbender's girlfriend"...
Her previous awards,nominations are very forgettable too.
She's just the "Thinking Man's Blake Lively Who Got Famous Because She Dated Michael Fassbender for awhile" for a few vocal Michael's fans. People who love movies judge her work as an actress. That's the reason why there's positive feedback on social networks...
Even people who read and comment on those gossip blogs and think that she came across as arrogant in her first interviews have no problem admitting that she's a good actress. Lainey Gossip too..
