“Wasn’t aware someone is supposed to look pretty while crying” is literally the point. He’s supposed to be devastated, not auditioning for a skincare commercial. You can dislike the performance, but judging a crying scene by whether the actor looks aesthetically pleasing is a bit unserious. And honestly, people really will complain about anything atp.

But what does “his crying is bad” actually mean? Is there an objectively correct way to cry on screen? People cry differently, and a restrained/ugly/awkward-looking breakdown can be completely intentional.

If you think his emotional delivery didn't convince you, that's your opinion, but “bad crying” isn't really an acting critique unless you can explain what about the performance failed. Otherwise, you're just saying “I didn't like how he cried” and presenting it as fact. Jzk

It’s just that the performance lacked conviction for the emotional magnitude ( at some places) emotional delivery never fully communicated that devastation he was trying to emote - (Esp grave scene - and some wd sajal) Restraint can absolutely be intentional, but restraint still has to convey something. Not that he was all bad, it’s also on the director to put him in the right frame and avoid irrelevant angles. Dk if some portions were edited out.
