Cate Blanchett was more elegantly statuesque than stoic.
This girl was just stoic, which rarely is a trait appreciated by audiences with a female lead.
Can work with male lead, because males often supplement it with an innate sense of power. stoic but you know they can explode with a feat of strength or power. Arnold can be stoic. Thanos can stoic
Somebody whose ass you know you can beat can't be stoic, even though technically her character can whoop our ass, her physical presence doesn't exude that power. You need a 6ft tall women like sigourney weaver if you want a woman to be stoic successfully. not a 5'3 sprite.
little people work better as the Joe Pesci hyper psycho unstable dangerous type than the innate powerful stoic type.
