Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum and a deliberate, escalating tension through its five-act structure, with the party sequence (Acts 2-3) generating a compelling, chaotic energy. However, the pacing becomes slightly inconsistent in the final act; the aftermath of the shooting and the police investigation feel somewhat rushed compared to the meticulously drawn-out social unraveling of the preceding acts. The dialogue rhythm and scene-to-scene flow are generally excellent, driving the psychological drama, but the resolution's acceleration slightly undermines the full weight of the consequences.
