The Reviews Are In: Nicole Kidman’s Immobile Face A Huge Asset!

GOLDENCOMPASSAt last, "The Golden Compass" is out, and while it's getting decidedly mixed-to-meh reviews, Nicole Kidman is coming out on top! She's so untouchable! "For once, the smooth planes of her face, untroubled by visible lines, serve the character," says Mahnola Dargis. She's... life-like! "As embodied by Kidman, Mrs. Coulter is tall and composed and as cold and scary as a movie star," says Mick LaSalle. She's possibly animatronic! "A working forehead isn't required here. In fact, Kidman's resemblance to some sort of demented Barbie doll actually works in her favor," says Sara Stewart. [Photo: AP/Peter Kramer]
