florrickscully: ‘We know everything she’s feeling though she plausibly hides it from other characters and the public. We see the lies and the truth at once. We also see her choosing to exercise her authority, however much she has in a given scene, by the length of her pauses, and the way she looks at people. As my friend Elisa puts it, “There’s power in the way she uses silence.” I’d rather watch Alicia Florrick think before responding to a question than watch the typical CGI cityscape being destroyed. The expressions that flicker across her face without quite coalescing and giving the game away hint at alternate universes in which Alicia made the wrong choice, or the right one. Margulies’s performance is proof that “small” acting can be as thrilling as the other kind. Maybe more so.’ - Matt Zoller Seitz (Vulture) -- source link
