Joana Ribeiro works in parts

I kept coming back to Joana Ribeiro's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. Even in crowded scenes, the performance keeps a clean line through the story. 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. It adds value without trying too hard to dominate the film. The choices are controlled without feeling mechanical, which makes the character easy to trust. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
