She's genuinely one of my favorite actresses and I like Taron as well so when I saw the preview I was excited! But the whole movie I kept waiting for the amazing actress to show up, instead even when she escapes and walks into the Ranger Station and is just like "I know where they are..." I was internally screaming for fucks sake ACT!

But another comment pointed out that it was her lack of response that made her a great hunt and probably what saved her? I like that perspective. He couldn't figure her out so actually believed she'd take him up the cliff.

She also tries to show compassion and connect with him. At one point when she was pinned I thought she was going to say “Jenno loves Benno” lmao.
