I am a latent Kristen Stewart apologist.
Like many viewers, I first encountered the Los Angeles native in "Panic Room" where then-child actor Stewart played Jodie Foster's daughter, looking like, well, a mini Jodie Foster, and acting with a surety and naturalness that seem to place her on equal footing with the legendary star. In a tiny voice, she encourages Foster, playing her mom, to curse forcefully on the intercom of the panic room where the two have barricaded themselves after their home is invaded. She's a trash-talking, floppy-haired tween for the ages.
