“… characterisations were on point with phrases mimicked with pinpoint accuracy and body language freakishly precise […] the actors’ dedication to capturing their characters’ idiosyncrasies enhanced the overall atmosphere. Their ability to call back improvisations hours after they initially occurred was a testament to their professionalism and served to create an exceptional performance.”
