The Giver, the long awaited adaptation of Lois Lowry's young adult novel, is not that good. Taylor Swift, however, is not that bad in the movie.
The news that Swift, whose previous credits included Garry Marshall's every celebrity ever movie and a tiny, would be appearing in a film alongside Meryl Streep . Despite the odds being against her—a bit part in a mediocre-to-bad movie—Swift comports herself quite well as Rosemary, a young woman who Jeff Bridges' Giver attempted to train. One can even argue that Swift is the most natural young person on screen in the film, but that's not saying much considering the performances of leads Brenton Thwaites and Odeya Rush are particularly wooden. (They are perhaps hindered by the fact that the people living in their society aren't supposed to have any emotions.)
