Watching Jennifer Lawrence in a film that allows her to showcase her skills at full force after so many years without her is a welcome reminder that she’s one of our greatest living actresses. In, Lawrence plays Lynsey, an U.S. army engineer on leave after a tragic accident leaves her with a brain injury. She struggles to adjust, anxious to recover so she can deploy back to Afghanistan and leave behind the ghosts that haunt her back in her home in New Orleans.
Lynsey immediately strikes up a camaraderie with a car mechanic named James, played by the incredible Brian Tyree Henry, and they strike up an odd friendship that’s reliant on shared trauma. Lawrence and Henry do an incredible job at dancing around each other, soft smiles to communicate their pain and hardships without relying on overwritten exposition.
Lawrence is able to make a muted performance so engrossing. She effortlessly articulates Lynsey’s frustrations, struggles, and fears oftentimes without words. It’s clear from the moment she steps into her mother’s house, her level of discomfort radiates, suffocating her the longer she resides there. The small, cramped nature of her mother’s house is a juxtaposition to James’ home.
