A useful but uneven turn from Markus Stemler

Looking just at Markus Stemler's work as Sound Designer, there is a clear point of view in the performance. 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. 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. My reaction is mainly about this specific film, not a judgement on the performer overall.
