Jim Hoffman gives the film real shape

I kept coming back to Jim Hoffman's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. It adds value without trying too hard to dominate the film. Even in crowded scenes, the performance keeps a clean line through the story. The choices are controlled without feeling mechanical, which makes the character easy to trust. There is enough texture in the quieter beats to make the role feel lived in. What works best is the balance between restraint and clear emotional intention. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
