Twitter Capsule: Shakiest scenes mostly come early. Never feels like a natural, but its heart is in a tough place. Keeps punching up.

VOR:   Even when execution raises its game and emotional claims tighten, the key beats never depart absolutely from expectation. Nothing about the filming style distinguishes itself.
