My Take
Kawai hardly looks like she is acting. In A Balance she seemed unaware of the camera, and within a few years she had swept the domestic awards, taking Best Actress at the Japan Academy Prize for An no Koto and a Blue Ribbon for that and Desert of Namibia. No child-star grounding, no visible technique: emotion leaks out of her.
