I wanted to share this wonderful review of Abbie’s performance in Stop-Loss with you, courtesy of RollingStone.com. Check out the full review here.

The most surprising performance comes from Cornish, the Aussie actress best known for her junkie turn opposite Heath Ledger in Candy. Female roles are usually marginal in war movies, but Cornish — working in tandem with Peirce — makes Michele a compassionate warrior who may be torn between two lovers but holds no doubt about the moral ground on which she stands. There’s not an ounce of Hollywood fakery in Cornish — she’s the real deal. So’s the movie. And so is Peirce. It’s been nine years since she debuted with Boys Don’t Cry, but her empathy with society’s outsiders is undiminished and fills every frame of Stop-Loss. Even when the script slips into sentiment, Peirce sticks with her troubled, questing soldiers, and through this raw and riveting movie, they stick with us.
