Watching this scene having not seen the film, this just seems to be an actor…acting? Why is this worthy of derision? Is it something to do with Brendan Fraser’s weight? I would hope not.https://t.co/0WDiZsjOSX

solid 9; pacing far improved compared to The Irishman, great acting from everyone (yes Brendan Fraser did great, idk where this criticism is coming from), and it’s probably a more important film than Oppenheimer

This performance is great, and trust me, Marty knows more about casting and directing than you will ever know.
