Some good and some weak parts from Gary Basaraba

Gary Basaraba as Warren Lipka Senior in American Animals (2018) made me pay attention more than I expected. I can understand what the actor wants to do, but not every scene is strong. I wanted more detail, but it still has some useful emotion. Some parts are good, but other parts feel normal and not very fresh. There are good moments, especially when the scene is quiet. I remember both the good parts and the parts that did not work so well.
