Funny how she rails against "cuteness" here, and in pretty much every English-language interview she does, now, and yet... That is pretty much the only reason she gets cast. If she was ugly, or hell, even as weird-looking as Rooney Mara or Claire Foy in the same damn role, then we would never have heard of her, so that is... Extremely entitled, and naive at best. Very much like Keira Knightley...
Even more ironically, in English-language films, I have only ever see her play a waifish, unequivocally hetero, damsel-in-distress type character, which is exactly what she purports to hate, and/or refuse to play, lol...
In that role, yeh. Though I have to admit to not finding her particularly attractive generally, most of the time. She just comes across as sort of "plain", to me. Though in her "real life" she seems to look better than in most of her roles, imo.
But anyway, as Lisbeth Salander specifically, she just looked... Weird. As did Rooney Mara, to a greater or lesser extent. I don't think anyone pulled, or could pull off, that role like Rapace did...

"Have your cake and eat it too", and all that...
Claire Foy is weird looking?
