Esraa Darwish is solid, with a few rough edges
5.5/10 · Directing
I am at 5.5/10 on Esraa Darwish's work as Second Second Assistant Director in Afraid (2024). I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. It is solid enough, but there are moments where it feels a bit on autopilot. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. The quieter stuff works better than the bigger beats. Some scenes click, some just sit there. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I landed lower.
