Spontaneous Musings

Yeah, I agree. It's a toss-up as to how much of this was the writing/directing and how much was Larson. In film, so much of what is on the screen is direction - and editing. Larson could have provided a very emotive take -- but it was cut out at the editing stage.

We have no idea how many takes she did or how they directed her to react. Or how hands on they were.

And the movie was enjoyable, the weak link was Carol herself, we just never got enough of Carol to really connect to the character.

Let's see what happens in future appearances.
