honestly my only real knock on the acting in this one is that Pattinson doesn't quite have the accent figured out yet, otherwise him and Kristen Stewart are infinitely more interesting than the roles are on paper. Like I'm trying to picture some of her peers in the role and it's a condescending overacted nightmare, she makes the awkwardness naturalistic (which gets sorta drowned out in the sequels as they get bigger/blander).

I think they're both pretty good in this, and infinitely better than the characters as written. The biggest knock I can see against them is that they're both just playing at an almost cartoonish level of melodrama, but they're doing it *well*
