Love the protagonist, more love the supporting role
In a remote town in New York City, a woman who lives in responsibility and sophistication, and the arrival of a man broke Sami's peace and opened up the hidden passion in Sami's heart. It’s obviously a smart choice for director Kenneth Lonergan to play the role of Laura Linney as a single mother in "Can You Count on Me". Although this is the first time Laura has played the leading role, her performance is very familiar and sophisticated, and she finally relied on it. The shaping of Sammy won an Oscar nomination for best actress. Although this nomination did not make Laura a big hit, she is still a "gold supporting role" in many movies, but Laura Linney's wonderful acting skills can no longer be ignored.

She can see her extremely mature and introverted performances in 2003's "Fate on a Thread" and "Mystic River" directed by Clint Eastwood.
In 2004, Laura played the role of Clara McMillan, the wife of Professor Alfred Kinsey in the biographical film "Professor of Sexology" directed by Bill Condon. She is a female student of Kinsey and his only confidant. , Laura brilliantly completed the shaping of this sensible and intelligent role, and once again won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. In 2005, Laura's small-cost movie "Squid and Whale" won the Best Feature Film Director and Screenplay Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and won three Golden Globe nominations, which can reflect Laura She is cautious in film selection. She would rather play a supporting role than participate in a pure commercial film. But before, her roles are always very similar, as if they are different reflections of ordinary family life. Laura always plays The roles of wife, daughter, and mother are really monotonous. Perhaps out of this consideration, in 2005, Laura played a shrewd and capable female lawyer in the horror film "The Exorcism", defending the priest who was accused of a failed exorcism ritual, with a firm expression and concise performance. , Showing an extraordinary level of performance.
In 2006, Laura starred in two comedies "Person of the Year" and "Driving Lesson" respectively.

Character Evaluation
Her change seems to be a sign of maturity. Laura Linney's most eye-catching shining point in 2007 was the "Savage Family" that made her nominated for the 80th Oscar heroine. This film raises a profound social problem. In a highly developed modern era, in a society that is extremely self-conscious and obeys private space, how should children who are separated from their families face the spiritual comfort that elderly parents need? Wendy, played by Laura, is an unsuccessful New York City playwright. Her depraved feelings and failed life made her numb and indifferent, and her brother was incompatible with her brother and cut off contact with her family. But one day, they Wendy's father has Alzheimer's disease and Wendy has to return to his hometown.
In the process of taking care of the old and weak father with his brother, the two people quarreled endlessly. The scars of the old days were not as good as the old days. The scars were uncovered layer by layer. Responsibility can make life full and complete, she no longer chooses to escape, and regained the courage to believe in warmth and true love. This kind of profound family-themed movie is naturally Laura Linney's strong point. Laura really lived up to the expectations and interprets Wendy's mental journey from selfish chaos to gradual transformation in a delicate and moving manner. Someone once called Laura "licorice" because of her simple and homely image. Maybe she has never been a delicate flower. She is the kind that will not be noticed at first, but will be remembered for a long time. Woman, when you watch her movie, maybe you don’t remember her name deliberately, just like we never remember what we saw on a long-distance train, hidden in an unknown village in the woods in the distance, what we can remember Living is just the quiet beauty, security and warmth carved in the depths of memory. Only the bland is forever
