A useful but uneven turn from Mary Buss

Mary Buss's contribution as Aunt Diane gives The Inhabitant (2022) a more specific texture. The choices are controlled without feeling mechanical, which makes the character easy to trust. Even in crowded scenes, the performance keeps a clean line through the story. What works best is the balance between restraint and clear emotional intention. There is enough texture in the quieter beats to make the role feel lived in. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
