Natalie is distracting because both actresses do not resemble each other in the slightest and literally seem like entirely different people. They nailed everyone else.

I think she's supposed to be Natalie after tons of drug use, so that's why she looks so fucked up. So it's technically good casting because people do start off looking fine and then end up like that.

Juliette is doing phenomenal mouth acting to really sell being a long time addict. Watch how she talks, you can tell some of the teeth are gone, and she's been cranked long enough to have the jerky motions.

there was one specific gesture she made with her mouth that, as an at one point crack addict, was way too real 😬 the mush mouth was rampant for a while

I was trying to explain that to my wife. Nat isn't just wild and erratic, she is PERFECTLY captured.

Yeah I think it was deliberate to make Juliette look so rough compared to young Natalie, that kind of hard drug use often makes someone unrecognizable!!! My friend I was watching with was distracted by her facial tics and I’m like…that is the point lol when we are tweaky we are not fun or comfortable to witness

I disagree sure they don’t look the same, but seems she had a rough life style. I actually think 90 Forrest Nat sounds like Juliette.

Agreed. Sophie Thatcher is doing an amazing job playing into Juliette Lewis’ energy.

I get that but I think the dichotomy is meant to reflect her hard living as compared to the others.

It’s in the voice. She weirdly sounds exactly like young Juliette. Maybe that was what sold her? Idk

There's a photo of all the adult actresses as kids. I can't find it with a quick google but they're actually pretty similar.

I mean, we’ve all seen Juliette at that age. She’s literally that age in Christmas Vacation.
