So wrote respected film critic, Roger Ebert in his review of The Yellow Handkerchief earlier this year.link
"Stewart is, quite simply, a wonderful actress. ... In recent film after film, she shows a sure hand and an intrinsic power. I last saw her in Welcome to the Rileys, where she played a runaway working as a hooker in New Orleans. In both films she had many scenes with experienced, older actors (Hurt, James Gandolfini). In both she was rock solid. Playing insecure and neurotic, yes, but rock solid."
"Now comes her remarkable performance in The Cake Eaters ..."

From his Adventureland review ... "What surprised me is how much I admired Kristen Stewart. ... Here is an actress ready to do important things."
link
From his The Runaways review ... "Its interest comes from Michael Shannon's fierce and sadistic training scenes as Kim Fowley and from the intrinsic qualities of the performances by Stewart and Fanning, who bring more to their characters than the script provides."

Finally, here is Roger's recent review of WTTR. He had written an earlier one when the film premiered at Sundance, but that has been removed and replaced with this one.
