When Meryl landed the role of Ebony at the age of 14, the character itself was little more than a weak characterization of the antagonistic force that the Mallrats encountered. But somewhere in those early seasons Ebony evolved into a multi-layered person which Meryl played with such flair and skill that one wonders why she doesn't have her own show yet.
It is perhaps to Meryl's advantage that she landed the arguably most complex character of the whole ensemble cast of The Tribe. It allowed her to play a wide variety of emotions and storylines that one doesn't often see united in one single, consistent character. And she doesn't disappoint. From cold-hearted ruthlessness to hidden vulnerability, from utter self-confidence to deep-seated insecurity, Meryl acts these feelings in a natural, colorful manner that rings true for many viewers. Whether Ebony is lasciviously seducing somebody or shaking up the screen with a genuine moment of ingenuous playfulness, one comes away with the impression that she is a passionate, intense, and emotionally rich, albeit deeply flawed, individual.

Her delivery is constantly one-note and lackluster, and she hardly ever emotes. This does especially come to the surface in very emotional scenes, where her fake crying can become cringe-worthy. Instead of developing more skills, Bledels seems to have gotten worse over the course of Gilmore Girls' run.
This is not helped by the fact that she sticks to a certain kind of role in her other projects and has not shown much range in the 6 years she has worked in showbusiness. Even in Sin City, where she played a hooker, her character was nevertheless meek and underdeveloped.
Bledel seems like a genuinely nice, if somewhat reserved, person and I wish her the best for her future. But if she wants to stay in this business, maybe she should take some acting classes.

Aalyandra must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Aalyandra possibly have for not rating a single film?
