Not since 'Panic Room' have we seen Kristen Stewart in a role where she goes into such a dark space. In her Sundance flick, 'Camp X-Ray,' she plays a prison guard who befriends a detainee. “My character felt destroyed from the inside out,” she said. “I don’t know what it’s like to play a prison guard, but that was my approach.”

Last year ELLE interviewed Kristen Stewart, and being a beauty interview the discussion naturally turned to hair. Back then she told us that her next experimental hairstyle would be cornrows, the exact hairstyle she debuted at the Sundance film festival this weekend,

You see Stewart isn’t afraid of experimenting with her hair for the sake of her art, 'I’m pretty much open to anything – if I really loved the part I’d do anything. You know, hair grows, relatively speaking it doesn’t take that long in exchange for a good experience so I think it’s worth it,”' she told ELLE UK. 'I’ve been blonde, dark, I’ve had reddish hair, short, long. I run the gamut, you know”'.

Despite her dedication to the cause, in her own time she prefers low-commitment styles that aren’t so try-hard.

'Last year everyone started shaving the side of their head. I’m shooting for a couple of days in New York but then at the end of November I’m done for the year. I’m going to get a couple of tight cornrows put in. It almost gives the impression of no hair so I’m stoked about that,' said the star. 'I think a shaved head is a little forced, but the cornrows gives you the effect without the commitment.'

We love Stewart’s new, albeit temporary look, what do you think?

Kristen Stewart takes a lot of abuse in her latest film, a gritty drama about detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

"Camp X-Ray," which premiered Friday at the Sundance Film Festival to boisterous applause, features Stewart as Amy Cole, a guard stationed at the controversial U.S. prison in Cuba, where suspected terrorists are being detained. Stewart's character takes an elbow to the face, is spit on and splattered with excrement, but learns her treatment is nothing compared to the detainees.

The movie is sympathetic to the prisoners' plight; Stewart's character eventually forms a bond with innocent inmate Ali Amir, played by Peyman Moaadi.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Stewart said she relished playing such a strong character.

"It's a movie about somebody who doesn't seem made up. I read this thing and felt like I wanted to stand up for her. It felt really real to me and I felt like it was something that I was willing to do anything for," she said in a phone interview last week. "I haven't played too many parts that I feel like are really outside of myself. And it's quiet and when something really quiet punches you in the stomach, that's what I like to do."

Stewart was on hand with the rest of the cast for the Sundance debut. After the film was shown, first-time filmmaker Peter Sattler told the audience that he got the inspiration for "Camp X-Ray" after watching documentary footage of a guard and a detainee talking about books on a library cart. In his film, the two main characters similarly bond over the prison's book selection.
