The facial expressions in this scene are everything. From the matriarch's skeptical glare to the young guy's nervous smile, every reaction is perfect. Moonfall Over Hale delivers comedy without needing dialogue half the time. Just watch the guy in the green jacket eat; it is a performance in itself!
