r/lukecage on Reddit: [Spoilers] Alfre Woodard is absolutely awful
January 13, 2018 -
I've rarely seen an actor as bad as her. She acts like a Civilization 6 leader.
She ruined that intense dialogue with Shades in her house.

I have been trying to find someone else who shares this opinion, with almost no luck. Glad to see someone else say it. I dont dislike the character either. Black Mariah is cool as shit, but I just cant buy almost any scene I see her in, they take too long, and her weird, jerky movements aggravate the hell out of me. Its damned near cringy. I really wanna track down other stuff with her in it that I havent seen, and see if its just her, or if it is some weird thing they wrote into the character like the other commenter suggested.

I totally agree. Maria is like a cartoon. It's hard to understand why the people around her take her seriously. All she does is has temper tantrums and over reacts to things. SPOILER I just saw the episode where Misty has Maria in the interrogation room and Misty shows her the crime scene photos of the dead police chief. Maria let's out the silly "Oooohh" shreak which totally pulled me out of the scene. It was just so fake and stupid. END SPOILER It's funny, I keep rooting for Bushmaster to kill her and I get annoyed by Luke when he tries to save her.

Alfre Woodard movies: 12 greatest films ranked from worst to best
November 8, 2019 - Starring Danny Glover, Malcolm McDowell, Alfre Woodard, Maynard Eliashi, Marius Weyers. Woodard co-stars with Danny Glover once again in this South Africa-based film, which marked the directing debut of Morgan Freeman. Set in the waning days of apartheid, Glover’s Micha Mangena is a police officer training new recruits who are mostly black as well. Micha would like his son Zweli (Maynard Eliashi) to follow his footsteps into the force, but the young man is resistant, citing the increasing political polarization growing in their town, a feeling that is shared by Micha’s wife Rosie (Woodard).

Alfre Woodard's Aha! Moment
April 15, 2005 - I'd been living in Los Angeles, a world full of cubic zirconias, and here I was in the land of deep, rich-colored, genuine gemstones. I felt organically beautiful for the first time in my life. It may sound immodest, but I realized that my presence in movies gives that same validation to other ...
