Kristen Stewart - In the Land of Women

Kristen Stewart successIn 2007, Kristen Stewart appeared as teenager Lucy Hardwicke in In the Land of Women, a romantic drama starring Meg Ryan and O.C. star Adam Brody. In The Land of Women movie, as well as Kristen's performance, received mixed reviews.

That same year, Kristen Stewart starred in Sean Penn's critically acclaimed adaptation film Into the Wild. For Stewart' portrayal of Tracy – a teenage singer who has a crush on young adventurer Christopher McCandless – Kristen received generally positive reviews. Salon.com considered Stewart work a "sturdy, sensitive performance", and the Chicago Tribune noted that Stewart did "vividly well with a sketch of a role." Meanwhile, Variety magazine's critic Dennis Harvey commented skeptically, "It's unclear whether Stewart means to be playing hippie-chick Tracy as vapid, or whether it just comes off that way."

After Into the Wild movie, Kristen Stewart had a cameo appearance in Jumper and also appeared in What Just Happened, which was released in October 2008. Stewart also co-stars in The Cake Eaters and The Yellow Handkerchief, both independent films that have only been screened at film festivals.
