thing I saw you in was Kiri [the 2018 Channel 4 drama about a missing girl]. I was just
blown away by your performance.

thought your performance was in that as well. Particularly in the scene in the police

It’s the kind of acting I really admire because you’re amazingly still, but you tell the
story. It’s beautiful to watch.
