Years later, Reeves acknowledged the debate during an interview (viaThe Guardian) and gave an impressive response to the critics. He said,
“I certainly never got it from any of the directors I worked with. It’s not like I went to meet Kenneth Branagh [who directed him in 1993’s Much Ado About Nothing] and he was like, ‘Excellent, dude!’ You know? Of course! But the pigeonholing just comes from journalists and, yeah, that happens a lot. I generally don’t read the press but when I do I’m like, ‘Oh, OK, you’re doing that again.’”
Over time Reeves has certainly evolved as an actor and has proven all the critics wrong.
