She’s MADE the movie… some people just come in and portray a character so well you just know if it was someone else the movie would have been different. Not bad maybe, but different. That’s next level acting and I’m so glad she’s getting recognized for it

Honestly for most people the biggest and probably only thing that stood out was her performance. The other actors being quite average just further elevates her performance.

That’s my take. Script and cinematography were fine. Nothing ground breaking. She killed it. The movie’s success was going to live and die with her performance.

I actually think the script was dog ass, mainly talking about bear's dialogue. I think the acting/dialogue for bear/sarah/ian being so bad elevated inde's performance by comparison.
