After recently viewing the 2011 drama film Hick, I have been gripped by a new young actress by the name of Chloe Grace Moretz. Admittedly, being born with a face like that does lend you certain advantages as an actress, however it is this young girl’s choice of films that strikes me as alarmingly appealing. At first I didn’t tie it all together, but then it all comes flooding back! Yes! She played Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass (2010), infamously making use of the c word at – shock, horror - thirteen years old. Hick was equally as provocative for a young actress, however it addressed some major issues such as teenage runaways, rape, emotional and physical abuse, which I haven’t seen done in such a credible, uncomfortably honest way since Evan Rachel Wood’s 2003 performance in Thirteen.
Moretz is most definitely one to watch out for, and I am especially looking forward to her upcoming portrayal of Carrie this year alongside Julianne Moore; but can she stand up to Sissy Spacek’s classic 1976 character? I believe Moretz will bring a whole new dimension to the role, with the perfect mix of innocence and femme fatale.
