Not enough people are talking about how masterfully Gaten Matarazzo is like, mimicking Joseph Quinn in his acting choices. He's slumping into chairs, he's swaggering into scenes, he's wearing a bunch of chunky rings and acting cool calm and collected all covering up a kid whose seen too much and is barely hanging on. I saw someone say that this version of Dustin is so heartbreaking because he was the last of the kids to really have that childhood innocence still. Seeing our always positive, always determined, always consistent Dustin in such a concerning place is really sad, and Gaten is killing it.
