* CanNotTellAJoke: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAGLKhAaBqY The basis of this video.]]

** Not to mention [[Film/{{Inception}} bending Paris in half.]]
** Escorting much taller [[Film/WhipIt Juliette Lewis]] to the infield, no mean feat.
** Um...she...did bad things...to [[Film/{{Super}} Rainn Wilson]].

--> I'm a total shrimp, which makes me [[OlderThanTheyLook look younger]]. I'll be able to stay in that area longer, which is good, because there's more competition in your 20s.

* CuteBruiser: Her ActionGirl (e.g. [[Film/XMen Kitty]] [[ComicBook/KittyPryde Pryde]] and [[Film/{{Super}} Boltie]]) roles tend to be this. This is a defining characteristic of a [[Film/WhipIt rollergirl]] as well.

** Owned the [[Film/{{X-Men}} Juggernaut]], [[MemeticMutation bitch]]!

* PlayingAgainstType: A shallow, selfish and promiscuous pseudo-intellectual actress in ''To Rome with Love''.

* TypeCasting: For quite some time, Ellen Page was typecast as an atypical, rebellious teenage girl [[DeadpanSnarker with an attitude]]. However, her involvement in works such as ''Film/{{Peacock}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' indicates a shift to more varied roles.

* DawsonCasting: Almost always plays a teenager, despite already being in her twenties. Understandable however given that she actually looks considerably younger than she is. ''Film/{{Super}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' have had her playing characters in their early twenties, which she was. Toyed with for Beyond: Two Souls, in which she visually ages but is still recognisable as Creator/EllenPage, and voices herself from about the teens onward, naturally being too old to do a child's voice any more.
* DyeingForYourArt: She had her head shaved on camera for ''Film/MouthToMouth'', and starved herself to play a torture victim for ''Film/AnAmericanCrime''.
* FakeAmerican: Anyone remember when she last played a Canadian?
