The limited timeline is a nice idea, keeping Sully restricted to a hotel room, unable to see his wife (Laura Linney) or children, but doing so also confines the
script in a way that Komarnicki isn't able to maneuver around
in a
manner that's
convincing or compelling.
I am reminded of the audition scene
in David Lynch's 2001 film Mulholland Drive, where Naomi Watts» character Betty says her heavily
scripted lines
in a terrifyingly
convincing manner, a way we've never heard her speak before, even when she was participating
in the film's version of «real life.»
