I gave Sidney Hu's work as Supervising Sound Editor in Increasing Echo (Fri ) a 9/10. There are a few small choices in timing and expression that made the character feel lived in. I liked that it did not feel like a performance trying too hard to announce itself. It is the kind of work that makes the movie feel more complete. I would not call it the only reason to watch, but it definitely shaped how I felt about the film.

There is enough texture in the quieter beats to make the role feel lived in. 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. It is not the whole reason to watch the film, but it meaningfully improves the experience.
I kept coming back to Lenny Jennings's choices here, especially in the smaller beats. 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. 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. Different viewers may value it more, but for me the effect was limited.

What stood out to me about God's Pocket (2014) was how Lance Acord handled the role. The choices are controlled without feeling mechanical, which makes the character easy to trust.

I gave Sidney Hu's work as Supervising Sound Editor in Increasing Echo (Fri ) a 9/10. There are a few small choices in timing and expression that made the character feel lived in. I liked that it did not feel like a performance trying too hard to announce itself. It is the kind of work that makes the movie feel more complete. I would not call it the only reason to watch, but it definitely shaped how I felt about the film.
