Monday.
I am catching up.
JMW gave a performance to LIVE for. She almost saved the bad material and really in that moment I was rooting for Steffy. Through the years JMW has improved and improved and now I can say she really is a true gem. I would love for some other writer to give her wings and make Steffy likeable and rootable. But yes - I loved her expressions and the way she was handling it with true RAW emotion - this is what an actor does.
Finn - Boy, oh, boy. What a complete waste of time... I get that some people get off on him and think his abs are hot and etc, but that little basic Ken Doll is like watching paint dry. Such uninteresting, lack of emotion, lack of expression "acting". And the scene had potential which some other actor could have played off from JMW's energy. She REALLY needs a better scene companion than this. When he stands there and makes the sour face, it's almost like Steffy is talking to a stage prop. It's almost like a monologue. Recast is BADLY needed in my opinion. He is just unbearable to watch - in the Academy I studied acting, this would not get even accepted to... try.
Overall I think JMW gave the strongest scene of the month so far. The other parts I find very underwhelming and going into the genre of absurd and comical, which is... not my cup of tea. I found Li and Sheila's scene... shamefully bad and really really cheap. These types of animation movie fights do no interest me.
This is what I expect next.
