You must be have been watching through rose-colored (and thinning) glasses. There's no way she could pass for 22. I also didn't notice any aging during the film -- she looked 35 throughout. Maybe she smokes?

But aside from that I have no criticisms: she's a very good actor, as were they all, and it was an otherwise magnificent production. I was very impressed. A+.
