Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains excellent narrative momentum and energy management within its unique 5-act structure, with each act serving a clear purpose and propelling the story forward. The "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" montage efficiently covers years, the coronation and "Let It Go" sequence provide a powerful Act 3 climax, and the final act resolves conflicts with swift, emotionally satisfying beats. The only minor rhythm issue is a slight deceleration in the middle of the mountain trek (Scenes 47-51), but the dialogue rhythm and balance of tension/release are otherwise masterfully crafted, keeping the drive relentless.
