Robert Pattinson Continues to Awe the Indsutry with Versatile, Quirky & Compelling Performances

 

This is a great read and I’m not just saying it merely because Lina from Control For Ever believes Rob is inching closer to being nominated for an Oscar (whether he does nor not will never change what I think of him as an actor).  I found her recap of what Rob has been doing since 2009 reflecting most of our opinions, which is why I’ve set out an extract below:

Since the years from Twilight, Pattinson has immersed himself in roles that expose his range and versatility as an actor, which is more than just the once teen heartthrob of the mid-2000s.

Robert Pattinson continues to awe the industry with his versatile, quirky, and compelling performances. In Damsel, one of Pattinson’s acclaimed role as Samuel Alabaster, has shocked the audience as Pattinson’s character treks the American frontier in hopes to swoon and marry the love of his life, Penelope (Mia Wasikowska).

Six years since the end of the The Twilight Saga, Pattinson has been receiving praise for every role he has grabbed since. Most actors that gained fame from blockbuster movies in the YA franchise, such as Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games, either thrive in their career or struggle against critics. Pattinson has been dynamic with every role post-Twilight to the point where the brooding vampire persona has become detached from his name. In Good Time, Pattinson is adorned with a scruffy beard and bleach blonde locks, as he plays an erratic criminal throughout the movie. With The Rover, Pattinson has been praised as a “consummate actor” by producers because of the quality and depth that he brings to the movie. Finally, in his most talked about role in Damsel, Pattinson plays a wealthy pioneer, alongside Mia Wasikowska, that has a shocking end and twist that further praises Pattinson’s depth as an actor.

In every role since Twilight, Pattinson immerses and perfects the character he is given, disregarding any fame or notoriety that may or not be attributed to the directors and the movie. His sole aim as an actor is to find roles that challenge and develop his acting abilities, and find ambitious directors that are unique and have not yet been discovered. Unlike once esteemed stars of the YA franchise (Lawrence, Stewart, Watson, etc.), Pattinson is thriving in these indie roles and perfecting his art as an actor.

With all eyes on Pattinson’s movies and what he will do next, a nomination to the Academy Awards seems closer and closer for the once teen heartthrob of Twilight.
