| I really enjoyed Shields as Ruth. She played Ruth as a tall, gawky, awkward woman who'd heard her entire life about how Eileen is the pretty one and has internalized that, even though she was clearly very attractive herself. I felt like I'd seen this Ruth's entire childhood and young adulthood as a socially awkward person right next to the blonde, bubbly, extroverted (and thus more conventionally pleasing) Eileen. I saw this young woman as someone who stayed home on Saturday nights because the boys back home didn't want a girl taller than them or smarter than them, while her sister was likely fending off everything in pants and out and about all the time. |
