Friends say Lindsay Lohan wasn't prepared for the harsh criticism of her Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick." And instead of providing the career comeback the troubled star expected, her performance has left many wondering if she will ever be taken seriously as an actress again.
“Lindsay is devastated by the response to the film,” a close friend of the actress tells The Huffington Post. “She has got used to all the negative press around her personal life but this is the first time she has experienced it about her work. No matter how bad things were going for her personally, everyone would always agree that she was a great actress.”
The Hollywood Reporter compared the Lifetime drama to a "Saturday Night Live" skit. The New York Times accused the actress of “sleepwalking through scenes,” while Entertainment Weekly made fun of Lohan’s “frozen face” and “blank stare.”
“Lindsay has already read her own press,” one insider tells me. “She knew the script wasn't strong but thought she would bring the role of Elizabeth to life. This is particularly heartbreaking as her acting was the only thing in her life that she knew was real. Now she is doubting that, too.”
Lifetime and Lindsay’s spokesperson did not respond to calls for comment.

Poor girl, it must suck to be stuck in a world of such delusion that it would be anything less than a train wreck.

And then this at the end:
Giants tight end Martellus Bennett caught a fan who leaned too far over the lower railing trying to grab a glove Bennett was giving a child after the game. The fan was arrested.
Suckerrrrrrr.
Devastated like this or
like this?
in fact, i believe Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf was just their constant life.
To be perfectly honest, if this has been a movie about fictional characters, I could find that Lindsey didn't do a bad job. But as Elizabeth Taylor? You have to be kidding me. All I could see on that screen was LiLo in a bad wig.
If you want to see a role brought to life, try Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn
I agree. The moments that Lindsay were doing okay in would have been fine if she weren't playing Elizabeth. Like her interview scenes were the best of the movie (obviously that's not saying a lot), but in no way were they accurately portraying Elizabeth Taylor.
omg
I don't believe this.
