Tess Natoli feels too thin here

I kept coming back to Tess Natoli's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. The work never fully settles into the rhythm of the movie. It is not a careless performance, but it feels under-shaped. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. That overall aftertaste is what stayed with me after the credits.
