Reviews about film acting are very... tricky, because movies are such a collaborative thing.
Rarely in film acting do you get to do a scene for very long.

Producing is a wonderful foil to being an actor: acting being largely about getting out of my head, being present, a little irresponsible, whilst producing is the polar opposite.
