Courtney Dlugos feels too thin here

Courtney Dlugos's contribution as Sam gives Big Fork (2020) a more specific texture. 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. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
