In the limited time she was on screen, she gave a powerful performance. Her entire life was spelled out in her face and expressions like a road map. The subtle looks and gestures conveyed so much, plus she was probably the most non-judgmental character in the movie and the most "Christian."

Ironically, I've only seen her in one other film, "Philadelphia," in which she had an even smaller part.

I agree....great casting!  She brought real emotion to that scene - it assisted Heath in his emotion as well.  She did really well with the little details...the simple little expressions and hand movements brought her character to life...

That is one of the cool things about this film for me, it has made me conscious of all the actors and behind the scenes people and they work they have done. Both Maxwell and McRobbie reoccure on Law and Order. If it were not for BBM I would have never seen Casanova, though I did fall asleap 3x.
