Satoshi Goto gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. A few choices felt pushed, and that pulled me out of the scene. It feels like the role needed another layer that never quite showed up. I kept waiting for a more specific angle on the character. It never really locked in for me. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I did not fully get there.

I came away thinking about Sigrid Helleday's work as Producer more than I expected. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier.

The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
