Everytime I rewatch INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994), I logically know Claudia is a 10 year old Kirsten Dunst and yet each time I totally forget and am like “yeah this bitch is 40 and she’s had it like a bitch who is 40”. Like it’s crazy to me... a kid could do this this wellshow more

I think what Kirsten nails (in addition to her subtleness of acting like a 40 yo woman) is this sense of clawing and flailing - and I don't mean literally. You can sense her soul is constrained by her own body. I can feel not just her frustrations, but entrapment in her own body.

It says a lot about the direction too, like I know Dunst talked about how she'd get help from the director and the other actors about how she should react to stuff and it's truly astonishing

she ate them all up I fear

Casting in this was 10/10 and she was the STAR. This is why I’m hesitant to watch the new series adaption, the movie was perfect.

Her performance was so incredible. I watched the movie and I was like omg that IS Claudia. I understand them aging Claudia up for the tv show and I love the actors they picked, but some of the inherent tragedy is missing when Claudia isn't trapped in this tiny body.

Saw this in the theater and when she said you get rid of it we lost it. Holy experience. The kids will never know. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

I didn’t love this film, but I love her as Claudia. Amazing, incredible, so perfect. And just mind-blowing that she could do it as a kid.

I will fervently argue that this is what Tom cruise is actually like in real life until I die

Get his ass Claudia

Yup...nominated for a Globe Award and I remember people being upset she didn't get the nomination of Oscar too.
