This role does not fully suit Paul Rowe
1.5/10 · Editing
What stood out to me about Berlin Syndrome (2017) was how Paul Rowe handled the role. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. The work never fully settles into the rhythm of the movie. 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. Different viewers may value it more, but for me the effect was limited.
