Aussie screen star Naomi Watts has received the ultimate compliment, with a fellow actor writing a tribute to her in showbiz trade bible Variety.
US actor Mark Ruffalo was reportedly so impressed with Watts' performance in the upcoming tsunami film The Impossible that he requested to write a review of her acting skills, which was later published.
Ruffalo compares Watts to some of acting's all-time greats and describes her as "admirable" and "brave".
"Naomi shows us once again how beautifully and honestly she can render tragedy into heroism," he writes of Watts' portrayal of real-life tsunami survivor Maria Belon.
"What happens next is an epiphany through suffering. The scene with Naomi and her son (a fantastic Tom Holland) trying to survive in the torrents of the 2004 Thailand tsunami are heartbreaking, and we are swept up into the emotional honesty of a woman coming to terms with the loss of her children and family.
"This is great and nearly impossible acting. Naomi takes us through this woman's journey from modern malaise to the deepest and most meaningful parts of being human: our relationships to others in the world around us.
"Naomi fills every moment onscreen with honesty and intention - one eye on the story and the other on credibility, and she is deeply in service to them both. She never backs away from what is difficult and she is never gratuitous or vain, which is incredibly refreshing and admirable. Naomi Watts is one of our acting treasures."
