James writes for Tucson Weekly:

Even worse is the acting of Nicole Kidman as the evil Marisa Coulter, emissary of "The Magisterium." Her face is freakishly frozen into a plastic-surgery love-doll look. When the camera zooms in, you can also see the inch-thick coat of makeup slowly flaking off her nerve-deadened forehead. In some ways, this kind of works, since Coulter is supposed to be in charge of hunting children, and Kidman looks like she'd be willing to inject the pituitary extracts of freshly killed kids into her chin to keep it wrinkle-free. Of course, the lack of expression makes her seem vapid, but, like, evil vapid.
