Examples
Dressed in her tutu (a slightly anachronistic appearance given that the fim opened a year after the play is set), Natalie’s limber frame helps Keyonna paste a new celebrity cutout on the wall in a place she struggles to reach on her own.
Keyonna soothes herself with collaged vision boards and ’90s movies, and dreams of writing screenplays for Natalie Portman, or someone like her.
These appearances showcase Portman’s exceptional range and the variety of storytelling with which she engaged, but that does little for Keyonna as she stares down the barrel of eviction and isolation.
