Bruce Babcock feels too thin here

I kept coming back to Bruce Babcock's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. It is not a careless performance, but it feels under-shaped. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. The work never fully settles into the rhythm of the movie. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
