Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum through its 5-act structure, with each act clearly advancing Conor's emotional and musical journey. The dialogue is crisp and efficient, balancing rapid exchanges with meaningful pauses, while the scene-to-scene flow effectively manages energy—from the tense schoolyard confrontations to the creative bursts of songwriting and video shoots. The only minor drag occurs in the mid-section where some deleted scenes create slight narrative gaps, but the overall rhythm is well-calibrated, with the final act's escape sequence providing a satisfying, breathless climax.
