A useful but uneven turn from Farid İsmayilzade

Farid İsmayilzade's contribution as Mix Technician gives Victoria (2023) a more specific texture. I appreciated the intention more than every individual moment. The performance has a clear idea behind it, but the execution is not equally strong throughout. 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. A few scenes feel specific and grounded, while others fall back on familiar choices. That overall aftertaste is what stayed with me after the credits.
