There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.
I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.
EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.
I watched it properly for the first time a couple years ago and I will say that it wasn’t the acting by Kristen or Robert that is what I remember as being bad about the movies. it was, well, probably everything else
I don’t remember it being as bad as I expected tbh
