Sienna Miller was savaged in the media for the second time this week. This time it was for her acting in a Broadway show, After Miss Julie.
Earlier in the week Sienna Miller’s alleged sexual escapades were listed, and seemingly mocked, by the NY Times. Their piece was intended to serve as a profile, not a character assassination. However, you’d never have known it from the way it was written. You’d think her vagina had killed people, as bad a reputation as it has. I have it on good authority that her privates have never harmed anyone who wasn’t asking for it.
Today, a series of reviews are out about the actress and most of them are not so kind. This time the critics have done a little thinking outside the box. Rather than whine about her WVS (Wandering Vagina Syndrome), they are slaying her performance in a Broadway show, After Miss Julie.
The actress, best known in the UK media for her romance with ex-flame Jude Law, was called an assortment of names. None of them were pet names, or other oddly over-familiar monikers. She was labelled everything from a novice to flat out poor. Previews began Sept 18. Oct. 22 was the opening night performance, watched by names including US Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
More on what the critics had to say below. Also, six photos of Sienna Miller as she leaves from the stage door of her Broadway play, After Miss Julie, performance on Oct. 4, New York City, New York.
- New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley, Broadway’s most influential critic, admitted he had been “rooting” for Sienna. But he wrote: “If [After Miss] Julie is written as clashing chords of conflicted impulses, Ms Miller plays them like a novice at a piano, plunking down each note loudly and individually.”
- Terry Teachout, from The Wall Street Journal, was equally scathing, writing the following on the actress: “As for Ms Miller, a model-turned second-tier movie star, all she does is stalk around the stage striking vampy poses but the truth is she has no more business playing a classic stage role than I have posing for the cover of Vogue.”

I don’t love her neither. To be fair, I’ve never seen her on stage. She could well be ok there. Her movie roles are seriously weak, though. And she’s nowhere near as cute as she thinks she is.
She kind of seems like she is handed her roles as she gets a lot of attention. She may not be able to live up to roles that are too big for her.

this is so sad. it couldn’t have been that bad, but i’ve read reviews that make Striptease and Showgirls seem like Gone With the Wind.
They did seem to like her legs, though…lol
I noticed they mentioned her legs too – she’s far less offensive than people like Megan Fox who can’t act their way out of a paper bag… but still pretty average.

Even in the couple things I’ve seen her in, GI JOE & Comic Relief, she doesn’t seem like a very good actress. She just depends on her marginal (that’s right) good looks to get in to these shows.
Welcome to the site, and thanks for the comments, Jenna. She seems a little stiff to me. Like she might not have much of an emotional range. Also, yeah, she’s pretty but not like people keep saying she is.
