To conclude, I think that there were many scenes in which the acting was effective and the actors used their faces, voices and bodies to help tell the story and successfully show their emotions. I also think the way that the directors used proxemics to give the actors moments when they are distanced and would feel isolated, and when they are surrounded by fellow actors to feel supported and close, was effective and useful
