The Venice Film Festival kicked off today and this year all eyes are on Scarlett Johansson’s new film ‘The Black Dahlia’.
Unfortunately for the 21 year-old Lost in Translation and Match Point star, critics attention seems more focused on her sex appeal and curvaceous figure rather than her acting skills.

Johansson plays a femme fatale in a 1940s Hollywood murder mystery along side Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett. Critics are already saying the star exudes so much sexual tension with Hartnett that the plot is being overlooked.
Johansson has dismissed the comments saying, ‘Of course it is nice to be considered sexy, as a young woman in my prime. But I try not to think about the sexiness. And I never think about it distracting from the scene.’
