Wild Horses : whole film created to give Luciana a role?

she's been married to robert duvall since 2004. the only explanation for the whole thing - her stilted performance, the awful script, giving a talentless unknown a major role in a film populated by A-listers - is that duvall had always promised her a role, but due to her wooden acting, had to literally write, produce and direct a film in order to get her one.

I think she is OK. Remember she had a violent dad who treat her bad so it's not strange she is tough and not too much expresive.

I adore Mr. Duvall but was so disappointed! It's like he had to cast his wife. I'm sure she's a loving and talented woman, but acting is not her forte. I wanted to turn away every scene she was in. So sad

The whole movie had a weird tone to it. The acting wasn't on point. The story was hard to follow. And yes his wife was very wooden and stiff.

and what the hell kind of accent was that supposed to be? It wasn't Mexican, Native American or Texan. My husband thought French, but I couldn't identify an accent at all.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog

He also cast her in "Assassination Tango", which he produced, directed and starred in. In the beginning of this movie, I thought he had produced it as well.

There's a forty year age difference, so I guess he's gotta keep her happy somehow!JK
I love his work, just started watching this and had to come here to see if he had his finger in all the piesI only hope her character isn't a key player -I need this movie to be good-looking had a rough day! lol

He's an accomplished Tango dancer, which isn't exactly easy to pull off - my husband and I took Tango lessons for our wedding, we decided to Tango our first dance, but that was a huge mistake!
As if we didn't have enough on our plate with planning a wedding. IDIOTS!

Sorry for the typos above. I meant to say that when I saw HER in the beginning of this film, I decided to come here to see what his involvement was. I don't know why it came out "good-looking", I just want it to be a GOOD watchstupid auto correct or predicted text, or whatever!

Sorry folks :-) I will have to edit when I have more time and energy!

OMG it totally makes sense now!

I didn't know she was married to Duvall. But her terrible acting and weird accent just stuck out to me and I was thinking like "what a horrible actress". Now I see how she got the part

Few comedies feature anything as hilarious as the moment in Wild Horses where Luciana, in a completely flat monotone, says "I've just been shot at, sir." Her entire performance is inept on a level you almost never see in a movie that gets distribution.

OK, if we're going to imagine this as unwitting comedy and allow ourselves to be snarky, it almost works as parody. i tend to prefer more obvious, slapstick parodies like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which mocks all cop shows while being the funniest stuff on tv. it is definitely funny if anyone paid theatre prices for this 'film'.

I just got to the "I've just been shot at, sir." Thats it, I'm not watching anymore.
