Pacing Verdict
The screenplay demonstrates strong narrative momentum through its interwoven timelines and escalating emotional stakes, but pacing suffers in the middle acts (particularly Act 3 and early Act 4) where the repeated confrontations about Emma's past and the wedding logistics create a sense of circular tension rather than forward drive. The dialogue rhythm is effective in intimate scenes but occasionally becomes dense and repetitive during the couple's arguments, causing some sections to drag. The final act recovers well with a cathartic, well-paced resolution that balances release with earned emotional payoff.
