For Siblings (2004) she auditioned with the recital piece, and "had to practice it a lot but eventually really got into the character".[1] In 2008, she told in an interview, "I'd study to be a lawyer or doctor...But I find acting so much fun".[2] Weinstein was screened for Case 39 (2009) and True Grit (2010).[3]
In the independent film Jesus Henry Christ (2012) Weinstein appeared alongside Toni Collette and Michael Sheen.[4]
