Momoko Okazaki

I kept coming back to Momoko Okazaki's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. The work never fully settles into the rhythm of the movie. It is not a careless performance, but it feels under-shaped. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. That overall aftertaste is what stayed with me after the credits.
