Thats about to change.
Take a good look at Larsons face, stunning for how much it radiates both toughness and warmth.
Its not even a crime thriller.

Its focus is on the reality we create, and the one thats created for us.
Its about what a mystery our lives are, even to ourselves, Larson says.
For her, exploring the role meant revisiting thematic echoes in her younger years.
She can go very deep into character but with this amazing lightness of foot.
And a lack of that showy intensity which is sometimes mistaken for great acting.
That was crucial to creating the mother-son intimacy we see onscreen.
When it came time to shoot, Larson began weeping and couldnt unclaw herself from the rug.
It wasnt so much Jack inside there.
That caused crippling pain watching my inner child be taken away.
I wouldnt have been as effective without him, she says.
Hes a magic kid.
Yet when she speaks, Larson eyes still possess the capacity to sparkle.
Adults without access to their exuberant inner child cant usually fake that.
I love chatting with people who have no idea whatRoomis about, she says with a mischievous laugh.
Is this a post-apocalyptic world?
Are they in a bomb shelter?
Why does she have such a shy apartment?
Joy sits down for a television interview in lipstick and pancake makeup.
And she looks horrific, says Larson.
Its a Kabuki mask.
Suddenly its like, why do we ever do this to our faces?
Weve seen a lot of movies with girls with makeup and thats awesome.
But theres another side of beauty that isnt seen most of the time.
And Ill consciously choose to show that.
We are attentively watching.
