She's great in DV but I'm sure another actress *could* have done it and done it well.

Yes, I've seen The Others - twice when it came out in theaters, once on cable - plus I own the DVD. One of her best performances, and a great ghost movie. I've watched Kidman for years, in fact I've seen a some of her Aussie stuff before she was famous - and not just Dead Calm.

Good though she may be Kidman is not the most versatile actress working today. I find NK uneven in her roles, sometimes frustratingly annoying e.g. her simpering upper-class miss in Far And Away, her dimensionless Ada in Cold Mountain. I loathe MR so I can't evaluate her in that film. She was excellent in The Hours and Dogville, I'll grant you that. She's lovely to look at, although a bit gaunt these days. NK tries hard, and I don't like seeing that on the screen.

I don't dispute she's talented.

But untouchable talent? Nope. IMO, of course.
