My Take
What I admire most about Shailene Woodley is how little she seems to care about the conventional machinery of stardom. She carried a massive franchise with Divergent and broke hearts in The Fault in Our Stars, yet her offscreen energy goes into environmental activism rather than image management. There is an unguarded, earthbound quality to her acting — watch The Descendants or The Spectacular Now and you see someone who would rather be truthful than glamorous. That instinct occasionally makes her choices uneven, but it also makes her one of the most genuinely human screen presences of her generation. I will always check in on whatever she does next.
