Horribly one note, Alia is a total misfit here. Her disconnect with the surroundings could not be more obvious, in every frame it seemed as if she just couldn't connect with anything and her acting appeared artificial in every frame. She also has a very weak role despite a good screen time. She is mostly standing clueless or shouting shiva shiva.
Thank god someone has finally said what I have been saying. Her whole life she created characters that suited her strengths as she hid her weaknesses (there are many). The girl CANT DO IT ALL. She’s a weak actor, has weak screen presence and looks funny when she’s supposed to be sexy
