William Friedkin directed this broad, knockabout comedy about arms dealing without much flair and it is really only a vehicle for that lost legend of 80s screen comedy, Chevy Chase. He is a small-time arms dealer and Sigourney Weaverplays the haughty and enraged widow of a corporate defence contractor, Wallace Shawn, blaming Chase for her husband’s...
Weaver is at her most self-conscious and theatrical in this contrived and derivative oddity written and directed by Pulitzer-winning dramatist David Auburn. She plays Julia, a New York jazz singer who one terrifying day loses her three-year-old daughter in Central Park. Sixteen years later, and with her daughter’s disappearance still an unsolved my...
Weaver’s statuesque poise, aristocratic beauty, dry intelligence and style make her an obvious choice for a royal role. (How about Shakespeare, by the way? Weaver played Portia in an off-Broadway Merchant of Venice in the 80s, but sadly nothing on screen.) 1492: Conquest of Paradise was released for the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s American land...
Since 2006, the conversation around how to represent neurodiverse people on screen has moved on. Even at the time, though, there was a cool critical reception for Weaver’s mannered performance, playing an autistic woman whose daughter is killed while hitchhiking and who forms a relationship with the man who was driving the car, though not at fault ...
M Night Shyamalan’s period-costume mystery chiller exasperated all who sat through it, with its weird plot-holes and silly twist. But it was at least performed with conviction, not least by Weaver, playing Alice Hunt, one of the elders in a remote village surrounded by dense forests in which supernatural beasts are rumoured to live. She is one of t...
This is certainly a meaty role for Weaver, playing Dr Helen Hudson – a forensic psychologist and media celebrity confronted with a “copycat” serial killer who is murdering people in the style of other killers, clearly learned from Hudson’s own lectures. Ironically, of course, the film is itself a “copycat” knockoff of The Silence of the Lambs; cops...
Nothing enrages the Sigourney Weaver superfan community more than the suggestion that she is best cast as a “bitch”: that crude and vulgar term does no justice to her talent for alpha-female black comedy. Here she plays an icy, cynical and disaffected first lady, Ellen Mitchell, married to a charmless US president who, after falling into a coma, ha...
Perhaps best known for giving Shia LaBeouf his movie breakthrough, this Disney feature is about convicted teen criminals being sent to a fearsome prison camp where they have to dig holes all day in the burning sun. Weaver is on very good form as the imperious warden Louise Walker, who terrifies not merely the prisoners but the guards as well. But h...
Weaver has become known as the great action star, but here she had to content herself with a more conventionally demure, feminine (if gutsy) role in Peter Weir’s fierce romantic drama. Mel Gibson stars as an Australian foreign correspondent in 1965 covering the tumult in President Sukarno’s Indonesia, and Weaver is Jill, a British embassy official ...
It’s amazing to think how hugely important this sci-fi spectacular from James Cameron was once considered to be, not least for its next-level 3D, which we might want to revive now to get people back into cinemas. In the future, Earth needs a new energy source from a distant planet that is the home of strange blue Smurf-like creatures called Na’vi. ...
