Mark Ceryak has nice moments but also some problems

I watched If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) and Mark Ceryak was one of the parts I kept noticing. There are good moments, especially when the scene is quiet. I can understand what the actor wants to do, but not every scene is strong. The performance is okay for the movie, but sometimes it feels a little flat. Some parts are good, but other parts feel normal and not very fresh. I wanted more detail, but it still has some useful emotion. I remember both the good parts and the parts that did not work so well.
