Both women have played the infamous small-town ax murderer, just one year apart. But now that “Love & Death” is here, the better of the two is shockingly obvious.
My devotion is somewhat ironic—and I am constantly having my beliefs suppressed every time someone reminds me of the whole vax-lobbying thing—but it’s also completely genuine. Jessica Biel is Hollywood’s secret weapon; an unassuming, quiet talent, who does fantastic work with a meaty role . She was astounding in, which premiered this time last year.
While the five-part miniseries itself might’ve plateaued into a stagnant, by-the-numbers true crime story by its end,was held up by Biel’s chilling turn as the real-life ax murderer who offed Betty Gore, the wife of the man Candy had an affair with, in 1980. Despite its faults, Biel remains consistently compelling as Candy. Biel has a particular knack for wearing an array of emotions on her face, all at once, which perfectly suited a housewife who felt suffocated by her own life.
There’s no denying that Olsen is quite good in her own take on Candy. She’s a pragmatic actress, who has managed to bring depth to a woman comic book character, something that is, which premiered on HBO Max this week, I found myself feeling like she was almostgood. In fact, Olsen’s often portraying Candy Montgomery like the actress is thrilled to have scenes to chew, well-aware that she’s doing a great job.
I do hate to split hairs, but we must evaluate each incremental detail between these warring Candy crime collections: Why isn’t Elizabeth Olsen wearing a permed wig? Montgomery was famed for her tight tresses, up until she had them straightened for her trial. And yet, in the first three episodes of, there is no trace of ammonium thioglycolate anywhere.
