A useful but uneven turn from Riele Downs

Looking just at Riele Downs's work as Carlesha Gaither, there is a clear point of view in the performance. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. It is not a careless performance, but it feels under-shaped. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. Different viewers may value it more, but for me the effect was limited.
