'Bob Trevino Likes It' features outstanding performances that reflect the director's significant role in shaping them. The film tells the story of Lily, who befriends a man sharing her father's name, revealing contrasting personalities. French Stewart's portrayal of the father is particularly noteworthy; he infuses the character with a chilling reality rather than comedic elements, marking a departure from typical father figures in films. Lily, played by Barbie Ferreira, embodies deep emotional scars, contributing to the film's impact and preventing it from becoming melodramatic.
It's the performance of French Stewart as the father that's the most surprising. In another film, with a lesser director, Dad might have been a comic character.
The result is a character that might have been funny becomes chilling, and one that might have been laughable becomes contemptible. I particularly loved the implacability of Stewart's performance.
