Lord, yes. The best part of that film is how unreal her character seems at the outset, and then she goes in for that audition and during the reading suddenly comes off as a real person. That's when the whole thing came together for me.
I saw the Painted Veil not too long ago, with her and Ed Norton. Was kind of expecting a pretentious yawner, but I ended up liking it quite a bit. A great non-traditional love story.

I'll have to check out Painted Veil. I thought 21 grams sucked though - so I haven't been paying attention to her career after MD, just figured it was Lynch not her that made the movie so incredible.
But she was amazing in md.
I don't care for 21 Grams style, so I stayed away. Meandering 3-hour ensemble melodrama = stay away. Sean Penn being in it doesn't help either. The same director did Amores Perros (which I wasn't too fond of despite a lot of recommendations from friends) and 21 grams seemed to be the same kind of thing.
Not only is she incredibly hot, but she's also one of my favorite actresses. She's been in a lot of movies that I haven't liked- The Assassination of Richard Nixon, King Kong, and 21 Grams instantly come to mind- but I think she did a great job in those. And she's not afraid to take on a lot of diverse roles.
