Really sharp work from Marilyn Mootrub

Marilyn Mootrub was the thing I kept watching in We All Lie My Darling (2021). It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. It is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.
