Not only does the young
actor convey the vulnerability so
crucial for the role, but confidently holds his own on
screen in the presence of acting giants Michael Fassbender and Ben Mendelsohn — not to mention that utterly convincing Scottish accent he embraced for the part.
The film is a major threat for the Cast Ensemble award at the upcoming
Screen Actors Guild awards, with supporting players like Mahershala Ali (charming as ever), Jim Parsons (playing an against - type), Kirsten Dunst (feverishly addictive in her mean woman role), and Glen Powell (playing the late John Glenn) all
crucial to the film's inevitable success.
