All of the acting is so good and this has so much nuance, something missing in so many shows & movies nowadays.
The subtleties leading up to the intense outcome of this true story definitely make it a slow burn but in a very good way.
Elizabeth Olsen is mesmerizing in this. I always thought she was beautiful but in this she really shows her acting chops and for some reason is even more attractive in this role as a lonely housewife than many of her other roles. I'm glad that she looked more natural and didn't have a bad perm. It doesn't take away from the story at all in fact it just makes it feel more realistic.
Jesse Plemons shines in this as well. His awkwardness is palpable but you also kind of like him and feel bad for him at times.
That's how you can tell it's good acting; when you like the characters even though they are very flawed people.
