Its theater, stage type acting... That can feel kinda corny or forced.

If that was in a movie u would be looking like

Yelling and screaming is not good acting tbh.
Same way people think that famous Will Smith scene in Fresh Prince is GOAT acting just because he is yelling.
To me great acting is conveying emotions without going over the top to physically show that emotion.

I disagree. You can watch it muted, which I did at first, and you can get all of the correct emotions from the body language

I thought the emotion by both of them was really good. I didn't feel the "I hate you" line at the end of his initial monologue, but everything else was on point.

The writing was slightly overdone, their thoughts in a couple places were starting to get too wordy and not really something you would have said in a moment like that, but otherwise it was fine.

If it's a situation where the people would naturally yell and scream, then they should yell and scream.

You can yell like you're delivering theater lines, or you can yell like a person would yell in real life. I thought the way his voice was cracking was the sort of unhinged real emotion you'd see from someone who was doing it for real.

Acting was good but imma be real: This is a very sitcom like setup and I feel like if they worked with typical sitcom contraints (no profanity) it could have been better. Its like when R&B went from allusions and entendres to straight up saying what they meant...the music got worse.

That's my point. It's obvious physically. Anybody can yell and knock things over that doesn't mean you're a great actor.

That was stellar acting, in my opinion.

They sold the feeling of true rage well, the anger was palpable and I was fully invested into the scene.

I don't see how this can be called horrible acting. Anyone that's ever had an intense argument would know that this scene is legit.
