Marta Kaczmarek has good moments, though not fully even

Marta Kaczmarek's contribution as Sophie gives Beast (2017) a more specific texture. It supports the film well enough, though it rarely changes the temperature of a scene. There is some texture here, but I wanted a little more surprise. The performance has a clear idea behind it, but the execution is not equally strong throughout. I appreciated the intention more than every individual moment. A few scenes feel specific and grounded, while others fall back on familiar choices. Different viewers may value it more, but for me the effect was limited.
