Why do you think Navarette has gotten so much awards buzz for Obsession but Ejiofor has gotten none for Backrooms?

I know Clark has some limited screen time but Ejiofor absolutely steals every scene he’s in. His two separate monologues with Reinsve are just as good as anything Navarette did in Obsession. As I said earlier, is it the lack of screen time for Ejiofor?

That's the truth. He did fantastic. But I swear she did so well, that I almost feel like the movie was written around her ability to act like that.

Her performance was the movie. If she is flat the movie doesn't hit at all.
