She absolutely nailed her voice and mannerisms, even the way she moves her mouth when she talks. Very impressive 🤩

[ednarodriguez]

I feel like she’s so underrated. She’s amazing and should be way more up there 👆 winning awards!!!

[hymnofthenightingale]

She was marvelous in The Dropout. I'm so glad that she won the Emmy Award.

[pishedbloke]

Amanda is so talented, and she just plays it down... such a humble soul. Hoping to see more of her work in the future.

"I would never force someone to listen to me, not on my watch" - says the woman who sang in mamma mia, les mis, and a bunch of other works and sounded absolutely INCREDIBLE

Not gonna lie, she's GREAT at doing the robot

[Aria_durple_cinnamonroll_fan]

She doesn’t even try to take credit at the end. She said “such good writing” of the clip that was shown. Like OMG YOU KILLED IT❗️ Amazing actress! I loved this series all because of her!

Amanda Seyfried is my all time favorite girl crush since Mean Girls, and she delivered an incredible performance as Elizabeth Holmes. She needs to win an Emmy or Golden Globe for this role, simply groundbreaking and definitely her career's finest indeed!!

I had serious doubts about Amanda playing Elizabeth Holmes, because Amanda is a lot shorter than Holmes and doesn't have a deep voice. I was preparing to have a good laugh. But as I started watching The Drop Out, Amanda's performance slowly drew me in. By the third episode, I forgot all about the height differential, and I could tell Amanda was channeling something deeper about Holmes. She had me mesmerized by her acting. Amanda crushed this role.

[chelsytjandiono]

THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD. The Elizabeth Holmes story itself is so complicated and confusing and the series uncover those confusion + Amanda is so into the character. She even got the deep voice. Really recommend everyone to watch this series 👏👍

[maujo]

Her cast in The Dropout was spot on. I see her in this interview and can’t shake off the image of Elizabeth Holmes. I hope she gets an award for her work. Great actress !

[humweveve]

She was legit scary and terrifying portraying Elizabeth!!! Kudos Amanda!

[Erasureeraser]

It's crazy to see how likeable and charming Amanda is as a person suddenly came out of nowhere playing a disgrace entrepreneur in The Dropout perfectly. Two completely different person, showcase how great she was in the movie. Even managed to nailed Holmes' lifeless eye!!

[Erasureeraser]

She was amazing as Elizabeth Holmes. It's like she literally became a different person, you don't see Amanda be like "look at me I'm an actress, yay!" She really dissapear to this role. I can't believe she managed to nailed the deep voice very well. Great actress, hopefully she could secure her very first Emmy nom thanks to The Dropout

[carriechildress]

She was incredible in the Drop Out. Her beauty is astounding. “Mesmerizing” is the perfect word. I thought holding the voice, the jaw, the posture, all of the physical aspects seemed painful to keep up for so long.

[rodster]

Just finished the show. Big round of applause, she did really well with this character. Hope she gets some type of award for her work in this.

[ChloeSpiritual]

She played Elizabeth Holmes so well the acting is so right the face expressions and the voice of her The Dropout was good!

[mariepanimdim]

Drop out is addicting and her skills as an actress are crazy amazing!! Loved her in mean girls but this for me is a huge jump in her career and shows her talent

[Gorgeouscorliss]

She did a great job playing Elizabeth Holmes. The Dropout is fascinating.

[nzxwwsf]

She’s so humble too! After the clip from her show played, the 1st thing she did was give credit to the writers instead of accepting praise.
