I feel like she should be more famous! At least…

Quality not quantity seems to be her mindset..i'm totally with her on that.
It does (I'm with her on that, too), but there also could 111cbe some compromise - maybe not so much in quality (that I wouldn't want - going down the typical Hollywood, rom/com, franchise path) but in the type of film that she makes, by occasionally doing one that's more mainstream (also not R-rated). "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is mainstream. -

Speaking as a (massive) fan of hers it's a bit of a double edged sword..yes,I want nothing more than to look at her list of upcoming projects on here and see 4 or 5 things in the pipeline (currently it's just Alice & hhhh - which isn't definate yet) But then again when you look at the likes of Jennifer Lawrence,Charlize Theron etc etc and see them with 10 plus projects on the go,you realise that they are a different type of animal to Mia.
This is just my opinion but I get the feeling that the likes of JL makes movies with the total expectation of getting nominations and awards (she's like a female Leo DiCaprio)..Mia just seems to pick and choose where she wants to be and what she finds interesting and not being part of the "machine"..as a fan it's more difficult when there's not so much of her work about but ultimately her performances and films are far more memorable.
I hope she doesn't get lost in it all - i'm sure she won't as she's too good an actress..maybe it says more about the quality of work available? -

Assume for the moment that
HHhH
won't include Mia. Then has she done any acting work since the fall of 2014, when
Through the Looking Glass
wrapped? We'd be talking about almost 16 months of inactivity. That's not a vacation it's a sabbatical, and in what should be the prime of her career. -

I hope you're completely wrong, too. Is Mia taking an extended stretch of time off with the intention of returning to work (Carey Mulligan has said she had taken off a couple of years), or is her heart now somewhere else? As far back as 2013 I remember her saying that she would do films for as long as she had fun, if she didn't enjoy it anymore, she would stop. I wish she would let out some information for the people like myself who gain so much from her performances. When "Alice Through the Looking-Glass" comes out Mia will need to resurface - it wou2000ld be nice if she gave people (especially her fans) a glimpse of her intentions. Of course, Mia can remain inscrutable (she does what she wants) but for those of us who see her as an oasis in a vast desert, it would be nice to know something of her plans. It may be, though, that she's taking a sabbatical to figure out for herself just what she really wants, in which case she's at the right age for doing it.
