- DirectorJake ScottStarsJames GandolfiniKristen StewartMelissa LeoOn a business trip to New Orleans, a damaged man seeks salvation by caring for a wayward young woman.By far the best performance by Stewart I have ever seen. She plays emotionally damaged very well because she isn't 100% cold to people. She is cautious and short-tempered. Before seeing this film I had never really seen her prove she could full go there. It also wasn't really a form of sexual exploitation like some assumed given the fact that she was playing a stripper. The stripping was used as more of a backdrop. Honestly is more of a tie with Speak but something about this one pushed it to #1.
- DirectorJessica SharzerStarsKristen StewartElizabeth PerkinsRichard HagermanAfter a blurred trauma over the summer, Melinda enters high school a selective mute. Struggling with school, friends, and family, she tells the dark tale of her experiences, and why she has chosen not to speak.Given how young she was this movie was incredible. She found a way to relate in a way that I hadn't seen again until Welcome to the Rileys. Playing a rape victim probably wasn't an easy task especially at the age she was at and she did it well. I have read interviews where she admits to knowing the subject matter but not ever having any experience with it. To go in on pure imagination she shined.
- DirectorFloria SigismondiStarsKristen StewartDakota FanningMichael ShannonA coming-of-age biographical film about the 1970s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways. The relationship between band members Cherie Currie and Joan Jett is also explored.The movie as a whole wasn't that great but her portrayal of Joan Jett was fantastic. You can really take it to heart given the fact that Jett was so involved with the project. You also can't ignore her talent with this one when it comes to singing and playing guitar. If she ever wanted to follow the actor turned rock star approach others have, like Juliette Lewis, she would succeed. The girl has a good voice.
- DirectorGreg MottolaStarsJesse EisenbergKristen StewartRyan ReynoldsIn the summer of 1987, a college graduate takes a 'nowhere' job at his local amusement park, only to find it's the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.This movie deserved more than it got. All of the characters were well developed and I feel like Stewart ran with what she was given and came out on top. Very pleasant surprise and touching role.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsJodie FosterKristen StewartForest WhitakerA divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly-purchased house's safe room when three men break-in, searching for a missing fortune.Although she was young, she was great in this movie. She had good chemistry with Jodie Foster and the relationship was believable.
- DirectorSean PennStarsEmile HirschVince VaughnCatherine KeenerAfter graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.She wasn't in this one a whole lot, maybe 5-7 minutes total for the diehards who would watch this just to see her, but in that short about of time she touches you. She also shows off that her vocal and guitar skill was there before filming The Runaways.
- DirectorGriffin DunneStarsDiane LaneDonald SutherlandAnton YelchinA massage therapist looking to overcome her addictions and reconnect with her son, whose father is an anthropologist in South America studying the Ishkanani people, moves in with a wealthy ex-client in New Jersey.Similar to Adventureland, this was another film that deserved more than it got. Stewart was still pretty young but her character allowed her to expand a bit and be a little more free. It's nice to see her show off the skills she had before being cast in Twilight where they seemed to have gone out the window completely.
