Indeed. The irony is that some of the "stars" who pretend to be humble and modest in interviews are the ones living in multi million pound gated mansions, flanked by bouncers and who demand shops are cleared so they don't have to breathe the same air as the rest of us. Whilst Alicia lives a modest humble life minding her own business.

Lea is phenomenal! Blue is the Warmest Color was amazing.

I haven't dug into the thread. What are the reasons people give as to why Alicia's relationship with Fassbender?

I wouldn't advise you dig too deep about all the "reasons" why some people refuse to accept that Michael and Alicia's relationship is real.....the "theories" stretch from ridiculous to downright insulting to both of them. To give you a flavour:

- it's all PR. It's been pointed out that they both refuse to talk about their relationship and decline to be photographed together on red carpets etc. However they are together as constantly as they can be in their private life with their schedules. Hardly what you'd expect of a showmance!

- Their relationship has been masterminded by Harvey Weinstein. You may come across references to Alicia as "Weinstein girl". Nobody can explain why HW would have any interest in either of them, so ludicrous stuff is promulgated like Alicia wants publicity so gives sexual favours to HW or Michael is being blackmailed by him for some murky secrets.

- Derek Cianfrance, the director of TLBO, forced them to live together and engage in a sexual relationship during filming. This has resulted in Michael being in a Stockholm Syndrome state that he hasn't escaped from.

I could go on, but the "theories" are so ridiculous and tedious and have been going on most of this year, really since it became clear that Alicia is not one of Michael's co-star flings, but a woman he's more serious about. It doesn't matter how much evidence is cited to demonstrate they are a real couple, some refuse to accept it, they just don't want it to be so constantly try to convince themselves and others. From what I can glean, some have issues with Alicia and don't want her to be his girlfriend, others don't want him to have a serious girlfriend at all. Either way the result is the same and shows no sign of letting up. Expect a great deal more in this vein during awards season too; if they're seen or photographed together it's a clear PR stunt, if they avoid the cameras it's proof that Michael can't stand her and can't bear to be near her etc etc etc. There is a "theory" for either eventuality, however they decide to play it Michael and Alicia just can't win!

And when it comes to Alicia, unfortunately for her dating Michael Fassbender who is one of the hottest actors at the moment brings a lot of haters. I mean, just go to his thread here - half of people are convinced it's not a real relationship for thousand of reasons. It's absolutely crazy.

I really want for her to become even more succesful because she's talented and even if she comes as an ice queen to many, I'd say it has more to do with her being European than anything else. We are not immediately as warm as Americans are if that makes sense - we are more careful and honest. We don't smile because we have to or because it is expected of us if you understand what I'm trying to say - do not want to hurt anyone :)

Totally agree with you, regarding the hate Alicia gets from some quarters which is due to her being Michael Fassbender's girlfriend. He's a very desired man and some people want him to stay single and don't want a pesky girlfriend to interfere with their fantasies or ruin their hoped for chance with him! This is evident by all the hateful stuff originating from his fandom; the rest of the world perceives her as a talented actress, an accomplished woman and many find her very beautiful and men desirable. Some think Michael's the lucky one to have nabbed Alicia and not vice versa!

I also agree that the supposed "ice queen" thing is largely due to Alicia being European. As one myself I find us just as warm as Americans but not in a superficial way. With people we don't know or in work situations we are more guarded and restrained which is how Alicia can come across in interviews sometimes. Unfortunately the American media seems to have interpreted that as her being cold and have cut her no slack. As well as having to communicate in a second language she had little experience of giving interviews etc prior to this year and was nervous too. I'm sure Michael has given her the benefit of his experience though to help her navigate through it! In contrast people who meet Alicia generally describe her as humble,sweet and lovely [emoji3]

There's some irony in the fact that some of Michael's fans keep claiming that Alicia is using him to benefit her and "keeps talking about him any chance she gets" (which we have yet to see an example of?) when American journalists describe her as cold for completely ignoring them when they ask her questions about him. She doesn't giggle and play coy but actually just ignores them. She has every right to when people don't respect her wishes to keep her private life private.

Matt Damon is having a family vacation in Dublin atm, so Alicia's probably back in London :)

Regardless of how she lives, I think it's great that she's pretty straightforward about wanting the fame part. While fame does have its challenges to be sure, all of them want it badly. It's disingenuous when they say they don't want it.

I think it's so strange that her comment about having several movies at the Oscars was read as if she expected to be up for an Oscar. I read it as if she was proud of the movies she had coming out and expected the movies to be in the award race.

She makes LV look good, honestly think it was a great move of them to get her when they did. I hope she'll wear less LV in the future though, she looks fine in their dresses, just not amazing. She wore Victoria Beckham at the Washington premiere. Not crazy about the siluett but she looked smart in white. Appropriate for the event.

She wore a cute dress to the q&a last night;

:yes: The dress she wore at TMFU premiere,or the dress she wore at the Venice FF premiere would have looked hideous on other women.
This is the pink version worn by Jennifer Connelly (she's also a LV testimonial):

I like the LV she wore at the Met Gala,but this is my favorite LV look

Like I said,I prefer her style during the Anna Karenina/A Royal Affair promo tour. I don't particularly like Dior and Chanel,but she looked better.

After having read that HW was trying to make her "famous" two years ago when she had a supporting role in The Fifth Estate (DreamWorks) and a Swedish movie (Hotell) screening at the Toronto Film Festival, nothing can surprise me anymore.. :laugh:

That's one of the misinterpretations. I doubt she wants the fame part. She just wants to be better known as an actress. She wants to be known for the talent not for whom she's dating. And since all these films were due this year she was clearly becoming more known. You had to be blind to not notice her.

She said that she was ready to be a bit more known after saying that she had worked in the past two years without being in the public eye,so yes,this makes sense.

I agree. She was just acknowledging the pedigree of some movies (TDG,TLBO and Tulip Fever).

This is one of the reasons why the NYT fashion journalist La Ferla was so irritated.. Also,I remember she got similarly upset when she was interviewed by The Times.


It seems like A24 will send screeners:

Hope this is true. I have also found it weird how quiet it's been around Ex Machina given how many nominations it got for BIFA and European Film Awards.

It would make me very happy to see it getting some attention. It could surely earn some nominations in the technical categories aswell as script? IMO Isaac should get a nom for best supporting, he was so great in it.
