...There are few film pleasures as rewarding as watching Fanning listen.) There's also her gift of living inside the character without editorializing about it. She knows how close the camera is, how closely viewers are monitoring her moods, so she never pushes an emotion; she's like a doctor with a sixth sense for detecting internal ailments. With no signs of exertion, Fanning wills Lily from fictional stereotype into persuasive movie existence. The Secret Life of Bees may not be a To Kill a Mockingbird on page or screen, but Fanning is the center of its soul and intelligence...

I hardly ever do complain [about my age] because I think that's one of the things you should not do. But when...
